NAME

Net::Analysis::Listener::Example2 - accessing TCP info

SYNOPSIS

package Net::Analysis::Listener::Example2;

use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw(Net::Analysis::Listener::Base);

sub tcp_monologue {
    my ($self, $args) = @_;
    my ($mono) = $args->{monologue};    # isa Net::Analysis::TCPMonologue
    my ($pkt)  = $mono->first_packet(); # isa Net::Analysis::Packet
    my ($from) = $pkt->{from};
    my ($time) = $pkt->{time}->as_string('full');

    printf "(%s)  %-22.22s % 6d bytes", $time, $from, $mono->length();

    if ($self->{regex}) {
        if ($mono->data() =~ /(.{0,10}$self->{regex}.{0,10})/i) {
            print " ** regex matched: '$1'";
        }
    }

    print "\n";
}

You can invoke this example on a TCP capture file from the command line, as follows:

$ perl -MNet::Analysis -e main Example2,regex=img t/t1_google.tcp

Note the regex parameter being passed to the Example2 listener.

DESCRIPTION

This Listener prints a brief summary of the monologue traffic, and optionally greps the monologue data for a regex, if one is passed via config into $self.
