Supported File Types

Teleseer supports the ingest of network collection files and bro/zeek logs.

Overview

Teleseer processes network collection files containing 802.3 or 802.11 (beta mode) headers. These files can be one-off collections or can exist within a compressed archive.

In addition to network collection files, Teleseer processes bro/zeek logs.

Network Collection Files

The following network collection file types are supported:

Extension
.cap
.dmp
.pcap
.pcapng
Google Stenographer (https://github.com/google/stenographer)

🚧

Cooked pcaps

"cooked" network collection files are not currently supported

Bro/Zeek

The following bro/zeek log files can be imported into Teleseer:

conn.logIP, TCP, UDP, ICMP connection details
dhcp.logDHCP lease activity
dns.logDNS query/response details
ftp.logFTP request/reply details
http.logHTTP request/reply details
ntp.logNTP request/reply details
sip.logSIP analysis
smtp.logSMTP transactions
ssh.logSSH handshakes
ssl.logSSL handshakes
tunnel.logDetails of encapsulating tunnels

It is recommended to use a supported compressed archive file such that all .log files can be ingested at once.

Assets created from log files without layer 2 content will appear within the External Hosts tab.

To create logs with layer 2 content, use the following zeek flag:

policy/protocols/conn/mac-logging

# Example
$ zeek -C -r maccdc_demo.pcap policy/protocols/conn/mac-logging

For more information on additional support and policies for zeek, see the Zeek Script Index
