The Fluffy Suite
============

Fluffy was begun in April 2011 in Tennessee,
as a replacement for the aging "dirtbags.ip" codebase.
It is comprised of multiple small standalone binaries,
which are meant to be chained together,
either on the command-line or from a shell script,
to create a more powerful (and specific) piece of software.

Usually, a program expects input on stdin,
and produces output on stdout.
Flags are sparse by design.

Fluffy source code is purposefully spartan and easy to audit.
Forks are encouraged,
please let me know if you make one.


How To Build And Install

Forks and Packages
==================

## Ubuntu

pi-rho, a network archaeology instructor,
has forked these tools,
added command-line options,
manual pages,
and packaged them for Ubuntu.

This fork is mostly compatible with these tools,
but there are a few subtle differences.
If you are installing these for Cyber Fire,
you should probably stick with a source install.

[pi-rho's packages](https://launchpad.net/~pi-rho/+archive/ubuntu/security)

## Arch Linux

The AUR package [`fluffy-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fluffy-git/)
builds against the latest revision and installs it to `/usr/bin`.
This was packaged by Cyber Fire attendee AGausmann.
Thanks!


Programs
========

## hd: Hex Dump

Like the normal hd,
but with unicode characters to represent all 256 octets,
instead of using "." for unprintable characters.

    $ printf "\0\x01\x02\x03\x30\x52\x9a" | hd
    00000000  00 01 02 03 30 52 9a                              ·☺☻♥0RÜ
    00000007

Also like the normal hd,
this one will print an ellipsis if the preceding 16 octets are repeated.
Use the offset printed next to determine how many repeats you have.

    $ printf '%64s' hello | hd
    00000000  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20                  
    ⋮
    00000030  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 68 65 6c 6c 6f             hello
    00000040

You can disable this with `-v`

    $ printf '%64s' hello | hd
    00000000  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20                  
    00000010  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20                  
    00000020  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20                  
    00000030  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 68 65 6c 6c 6f             hello
    00000040

## unhex: unescape hex

Reads ASCII hex codes on stdin,
writes those octets to stdout.

    $ echo 68 65 6c 6c 6f 0a | unhex
    hello


## xor: xor octets

Applies the given mask as an xor to input.
The mask will be repeated,
so for a 1-value mask, every octet is xored against that value.
For a 16-value mask, the mask is applied to 16-octet chunks at a time.

The "-x" option treats values as hex.

    $ printf 'hello' | xor 22; echo
    ~szzy
    $ printf 'hello' | xor 0x16; echo
    ~szzy
    $ printf 'hello' | xor -x 16; echo
    ~szzy
    $ printf 'bbbbbb' | xor 1 0; echo
    cbcbcb


## slice: slice octet stream

Slices up input octet stream,
similar to Python's slice operation.

    $ printf '0123456789abcdef' | slice 2; echo
    23456789abcdef
    $ printf '0123456789abcdef' | slice 2 6; echo
    2345
    $ printf '0123456789abcdef' | slice 2 6 8; echo
    234589abcdef
    $ printf '0123456789abcdef' | slice 2 6 8 0xa
    234589


## pcat: print text representation of pcap file

Prints a (lossy) text representation of a pcap file to stdout.

This program is the keystone of the Fluffy Suite.
By representing everything as text,
programmers can use any number of standard Unix text processing tools,
such as sed, awk, cut, grep, or head.

Output is tab-separated, of the format:

    timestamp protocol src dst options payload

Frequently you are only interested in the payload,
so you can run pcat like:

    $ cat myfile.pcap | pcat | cut -f 6

Remember the `unhex` program,
which will convert payloads to an octet stream,
after you have done any maniuplations you want.


## pmerge: merge pcap files

Takes a list of pcap files, assuming they are sorted by time
(you would have to work hard to create any other kind),
and merges them into a single sorted output.


## puniq: omit repeated frames

Removes duplicate frames from input,
writing to output.


## hex: hex-encode input

The opposite of `unhex`:
encoding all input into a single output line.

This differs from `hexdump` in the following ways:

* All input is encoded into a single line of output
* Does not output offsets
* Does not output glyph representations of octets

In other words: you can feed `hex` output into `unhex` with no manipulations.

    $ printf "hello\nworld\n" | hex
    68 65 6c 6c 6f 0a 77 6f  72 6c 64 0a
    $ printf A | hex
    41


## entropy: compute shannon entropy

Displays the Shannon entropy of the input.

    $ echo -n a | ./entropy
    0.000000
    $ echo -n aaaaaaaaa | ./entropy
    0.000000
    $ echo -n aaaaaaaaab | ./entropy
    0.468996
    $ echo -n aaaaaaaaabc | ./entropy
    0.865857


## pyesc: python escape input

Escapes input octets for pasting into a python "print" statement.
Also suitable for use as a C string,
a Go string,
and many other languages' string literals.

    $ printf "hello\nworld\n" | pyesc
    hello\nworld\n


## octets: display all octets

Shows all octets from `00` to `ff` in a hex dump.
This is occasionally more helpful than `man ascii`.

    $ octets
    00000000  00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07  08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f  ·☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○◙♂♀♪♫☼

## freq: count octet frequencies

For all 256 octets,
show frequency of each in input.

    $ printf 'hello' | freq
    1 65 e
    1 68 h
    2 6c l
    1 6f o
    $ printf 'hello' | freq -a

## histogram: display histogram for input

Reads the first number of each line, and prints a histogram.

`-d DIVISOR` will divide each bar's width.

    $ echo 'aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa' | freq | histogram
    0a ◙ # 1
    41 A ######## 8
    61 a ################ 16
    $ echo 'aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa' | freq | histogram -d 4
    0a ◙  1
    41 A ## 8
    61 a #### 16


Example Recipes
===============


## Brute force single-byte xor

    for i in $(seq 255); do cat data | xor $i; done


## Pretty xor brute force

For each attempt, display the value used in the xor, and hexdump the result

    for i in $(seq 255); do printf "=== %02x\n" $i; cat data | xor $i | hd; done


## Brute force xor of base64-encoded data

Same pretty-print as before, and also pipe to `less` so we can page through it.

    for i in $(seq 255); do
      printf "=== %02x\n" $i; cat data.txt | base64 -d | xor $i | hd
    done | less

 
## Protocol manipulation

For each ICMP packet, drop the first 5 octets, and base64-decode the remainder, preserving conversation chunks

    cat input.pcap | pcat | grep ICMP | while read ts proto src dst payload; do
      printf "%s -> %s (%s)\n" $src $dst $ts
      echo $payload | unhex | slice 5 | base64 -d | hd
    done


## Elementary protocol analysis framework

This merges (by time) `file1.pcap` and `file2.pcap`,
decoding payloads from each one,
hex dumping payloads,
and displaying meta information about each.
It displays information conversationally,
sort of like wireshark's "Follow TCP Stream",
but with more details about meta-information.

    ./pmerge file1.pcap file2.pcap | ./pcat | while read ts proto src dst payload; do
        when=$(TZ=Z date -d @${ts%.*} "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
        printf "Packet %s None: None\n" $proto
        printf "    %s -> %s (%s)\n" ${src%,*} ${dst%,*} "$when"
        echo $payload | ./unhex | ./hd
        echo
    done
