NAME

Parse::Netstat::Search - Searches the connection list in the results returned by Parse::Netstat

VERSION

Version 0.2.1

SYNOPSIS

    use Parse::Netstat::Search;
    use Parse::Netstat qw(parse_netstat);

    my $res = parse_netstat(output => join("", `netstat -n`), flavor=>$^O);

    my $search = Parse::Netstat::Search->new();

    $search->set_cidrs( [ '10.0.0.0/24', '192.168.0.0/16' ] );

    my @found=$search->search($res);

Two big things to bet aware of is this module does not currently resulve names and this module does not handle unix sockets. Unix sockets will just be skipped over.

The connection hashes returned differ from Parse::Netstat slightly. Below is what a standard ones for IPv4/6 looks like.

    {
        'foreign_host'=>'10.0.0.1',
        'local_host'=>'10.0.0.2',
        'foreign_port'=>'22222',
        'local_port'=>'22',
        'sendq'=>'0',
        'recvq'=>'0',
        'state' => 'ESTABLISHED',
        'proto' => 'tcp4',
    }

This module has two additional keys, "local_pp" and "foreign_pp". Which contains and data after % in a address. So "fe80::1%lo0" would be split into "fe80::1" and "lo0" as in the example below.

     {
        'state' => '',
        'foreign_host' => '*',
        'local_port' => '123',
        'proto' => 'udp6',
        'foreign_pp' => undef,
        'foreign_port' => '*',
        'local_host' => 'fe80::1',
        'recvq' => '44',
        'local_pp' => 'lo0',
        'sendq' => '33'
    }

methods

new

This initiates it.

No values are taken.

    my $search=Parse::Netstat::Search->new;

get_cidrs

Retrieves the CIDR match list.

The returned value is an array.

    my @CIDRs=$search->get_cidrs;

get_cidrs_invert

Gets the invert status of the CIDRs search.

    if ( $search->get_cidrs_invert ){
        print "The search will be inverted\n";
    }else{
        print "The search will not be inverted";
    }

get_ports

Gets a list of desired ports.

The returned value is a array. Each item is a port number, regardless of if it was set based on number or service name.

    my @ports=$search->get_ports;

get_ports_invert

Gets the invert status of the ports search.

    if ( $search->get_ports_invert ){
        print "The search will be inverted\n";
    }else{
        print "The search will not be inverted";
    }

get_protocols

Gets a list of desired protocols.

The returned value is a array.

Also if you've passed any named ones to it previously, this will not return them, but the port number as that is how they are stored internlly.

    my @protocols=$search->get_protocols;

get_protocols_invert

Gets the invert status of the protocols search.

    if ( $search->get_protocols_invert ){
        print "The search will be inverted\n";
    }else{
        print "The search will not be inverted";
    }

get_states

Get a list of desired sets.

The returned value is a array.

The returned values are all lowercased. Any trailing or proceeding whitespace will also have been removed.

    my @states=$search->get_states;

get_state_invert

Gets the invert status of the states search.

    if ( $search->get_state_invert ){
        print "The search will be inverted\n";
    }else{
        print "The search will not be inverted";
    }

get_ptrs

Gets the list of PTRs to search for.

The returned value is a array. Each item is a PTR.

    my @PTRs=$search->get_ptrs;

get_ptrs_invert

Gets the invert status of the PTRs search.

    if ( $search->get_ptr_invert ){
        print "The search will be inverted\n";
    }else{
        print "The search will not be inverted";
    }

get_ptrs_r

Gets the list of PTR regexps to search for.

The returned value is a array. Each item is a PTR.

    my @regexps=$search->get_ptrs_r;

get_ptrs_invert

Gets the invert status of the PTRs search.

    if ( $search->get_ptr_invert ){
        print "The search will be inverted\n";
    }else{
        print "The search will not be inverted";
    }

This runs the search results.

    my @found=$search->search( $res );

set_cidrs

This sets the list of CIDRs to search for in either the local or remote field.

One value is taken and that is a array ref of CIDRs.

Validating in is done by Net::CIDR::cidrvalidate.

If you are using this, you will want to use -n with netstat as this module currently does not resolve names.

    # set the desired CIDRs to the contents of @CIDRs
    $search->set_cidrs( \@CIDRs );
    if ( $search->error ){
        warn("Improper CIDR");
    }

    # clear any previously set
    $search->set_cidrs;

set_cidrs_invert

This sets if the CIDRs search should be inverted or not.

One value is taken and that is a boolean.

    # if it does not match, hit on it
    $search->set_cidrs_invert(1);

    # only hit on matches, the default
    $search->set_cidrs_invert; # or...
    $search->set_cidrs_invert(0);

set_ports

This sets the ports to search for in either the local or remote field.

One value is taken and that is a array ref of ports.

The ports can be either numeric or by name.

    # Set the desired ports to the contents of @ports.
    $search->set_ports( \@ports );
    if ( $search->error ){
        warn("Bad value in ports array");
    }

    # removes any previous selections
    $search->set_ports;

set_ports_invert

This sets if the ports search should be inverted or not.

One value is taken and that is a boolean.

    # if it does not match, hit on it
    $search->set_port_invert(1);

    # only hit on matches, the default
    $search->set_port_invert; # or...
    $search->set_port_invert(0);

set_protocols

Sets the list of desired protocols to match.

One value is taken and that is a array.

If this is undef, then previous settings will be cleared.

Lacking of exhaustive list of possible values for the OSes supported by Parse::Netstat, no santity checking is done.

Starting and trailing white space is removed.

    # Set the desired ports to the contents of @protocols.
    $search->set_protocols( \@protocols );

    # removes any previous selections
    $search->set_protocols;

set_protocols_invert

This sets if the protocols search should be inverted or not.

One value is taken and that is a boolean.

    # if it does not match, hit on it
    $search->set_port_invert(1);

    # only hit on matches, the default
    $search->set_protocol_invert; # or...
    $search->set_protocol_invert(0);

set_ptrs

This sets a list of PTRs to search for.

One value is taken and that is a array.

If this is undef, then previous settings will be cleared.

White space, [\ \t], at the start or end of each item is removed. It is then converted to lowercase and saved for later lookup.

    # Set the desired PTRs to the contents of @ptrs.
    $search->set_ptrs( \@ptrs );

    # removes any previous selections
    $search->set_ptrs;

set_ptrs_invert

This sets if the PTRs search should be inverted or not.

One value is taken and that is a boolean.

    # if it does not match, hit on it
    $search->set_ptrs_invert(1);

    # only hit on match, the default
    $search->set_ptrs_invert; # or...
    $search->set_ptrs_invert(0);

set_ptrs_r

This sets a list of PTRs to search for via regexp

One value is taken and that is a array.

If this is undef, then previous settings will be cleared.

    # Set the desired PTRs regexps to the contents of @ptrs.
    $search->set_ptrs_r( \@ptrs );

    # removes any previous selections
    $search->set_ptrs;

set_ptrs_invert

This sets if the regexp PTRs search should be inverted or not.

One value is taken and that is a boolean.

    # if it does not match, hit on it
    $search->set_ptrs_r_invert(1);

    # only hit on match, the default
    $search->set_ptrs_r_invert; # or...
    $search->set_ptrs_r_invert(0);

set_states

Sets the list of desired states to match.

One value is taken and that is a array.

If this is undef, then previous settings will be cleared.

Lacking of exhaustive list of possible values for the OSes supported by Parse::Netstat, no santity checking is done.

Starting and trailing white space is removed.

    # Set the desired ports to the contents of @protocols.
    $search->set_protocols( \@protocols );
    if ( $search->error ){
        warn("Bad value in ports array");
    }

    # removes any previous selections
    $search->set_protocols;

set_ptrs_invert

This sets if the state search should be inverted or not.

One value is taken and that is a boolean.

    # if it does not match, hit on it
    $search->set_state_invert(1);

    # only hit on match, the default
    $search->set_state_invert; # or...
    $search->set_state_invert(0);

ERROR CODES / FLAGS

Error handling is provided by Error::Helper.

1 / badCIDR

Invalid CIDR passed.

Validation is done by Net::CIDR::cidrvalidate.

2 / unknownService

Could not look up the port number for the specified service.

3 / badResults

The passed array does not appear to be properly formatted.
