NetworkMiner 1.3 Released

NetworkMiner 1.3 was released earlier today, and there was much rejoicing!

HTTP Digest credentials from USCC's web_recon.pcap and hmi_web_recon.pcap

Some of the features added to this new release of NetworkMiner include:

  • Extraction of user names from HTTP Digest Authentication (RFC 2617), such as those found in US Cyber Challenge “Cyber Quest February 2012”.
  • HTTP headers are shown on the Parameters tab (including common headers like “Host” and “User-Agent” as well as rare ones).
  • HTTP X headers are shown for hosts under the “Host Details” > “Extra Details” node. These X headers include “x-up-calling-line-id” and “HTTP_X_UP_CALLING_LINE_ID”, which can be used to identify the phone number of the mobile device used to access a web page. This type of information leakage can be detected with Collin Mulliner's MNO Privacy Checker.
  • Support for the Null / Loopback link layer packets that are written when sniffing localhost on BSD operating systems.
  • Ability to select a custom cleartext dictionary file for the "Cleartext" tab. This feature can be used in order to look for text in a specific language.
  • Files with “.raw” extension are now treated as pcap files since this is the extension used by Sguil (hat tip to Doug Burks for this idea).
  • The alert window about WinPcap not being installed has been removed.
Several bugs have also been corrected, thanks to TCB13 and Aivar Liimets for notifying us about two of them.

NetworkMiner Professional

The professional edition of NetworkMiner additionally includes a new feature for performing offline whois lookups of IP addresses against the RIPE database. This offline whois lookup can be used to find out which organization that owns the IP network for a particular IP address. The whois information can be found in the “Host Details” node in the “Hosts” tab.

There is at this point only support for whois lookups of European IP addresses. NetworkMiner Professional is also not shipped with the RIPE database installed. Downloading the RIPE database to NetworkMiner Professional is very easy though, simply click “Tools” > “Download RIPE DB”.
