Parse and display http traffic from network device or pcap file. This is a go version of origin pcap-parser, thanks to gopacket project, this tool has simpler code base and is more efficient.

For original python implementation, refer to httpcap on pypi.

Install & Requirement

Build httpdump requires libpcap-dev and cgo enabled.

libpcap

for ubuntu/debian:

sudo apt install libpcap-dev

for centos/redhat/fedora:

sudo yum install libpcap-devel

for osx:

Libpcap and header files should be available in macOS already.

Install

go get github.com/hsiafan/httpdump

Usage

httpdump can read from pcap file, or capture data from network interfaces. Usage:

Usage: httpdump 
  -curl
    	Output an equivalent curl command for each http request
  -device string
    	Capture packet from network device. If is any, capture all interface traffics (default "any")
  -dump-body
    	dump http request/response body to file
  -file string
    	Read from pcap file. If not set, will capture data from network device by default
  -force
    	Force print unknown content-type http body even if it seems not to be text content
  -host string
    	Filter by request host, using wildcard match(*, ?)
  -idle duration
    	Idle time to remove connection if no package received (default 4m0s)
  -ip string
    	Filter by ip, if either source or target ip is matched, the packet will be processed
  -level string
    	Output level, options are: url(only url) | header(http headers) | all(headers, and textuary http body) (default "header")
  -output string
    	Write result to file [output] instead of stdout
  -port uint
    	Filter by port, if either source or target port is matched, the packet will be processed.
  -pretty
    	Try to format and prettify json content
  -status string
    	Filter by response status code. Can use range. eg: 200, 200-300 or 200:300-400
  -uri string
    	Filter by request url path, using wildcard match(*, ?)
