A python tool to see ordered zeek log files with colors in the terminal, like termshark.

Zeek-term

Zeek-term is a python program that reads several Zeek log files (conn.log, http.log, files.log, ssl.log, quick.log, dns.log, ntp.log) and prints all the lines sorted by time. It also adds colors so it is easier to analyze.

Features

• Sorted logs from all the Zeek files.
• Adds background color.
• Adds foreground color.
• Adds a column with the name of the file that each log cames from.

Usage

python zeek-term.py --foreground --directory . |less -RS

• --foreground is to use foreground colors instead of background
• --directory is to set where the Zeek logs are
• --filter-conn is to filter all the conn.log lines which UID is in other Zeek file. Therefore, if a flow produced other log appart from the conn.log, then the conn.log one is ignored. This is good if you want to know which conn.log lines do not have a recognizable protocol and are interesting to see.

How it looks like

With --filter-conn

Without --foreground
