Endlessh Report Generator

A simple C++ program that reads /var/log/syslog, filters out endlessh logs and determines basic stats, such as unique IDs, total accepted and closed connections.

GitHub all releases GitHub CodeQL Build

Building

This will only work on Linux systems.

mkdir build && cd build # create build directory

# generate makefiles
cmake ..

# build and generate .deb
cpack .

# only build application
make

# make docs
make docs

# make everything
make all

Installing

After building the software, either move or copy it to /usr/local/bin, or add the build path to your local $PATH environment variable.

System-wide installation

# install to /usr/local/bin
cd build 
sudo make install

User-specific install

# ensure local bin-dir exists
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin || >&2 echo "Failed to create local bin dir!"
cp -v endlessh-report ~/.local/bin/

echo "export PATH=\"$(realpath ~)/.local/bin:\$PATH\"" | tee -a ~/.bashrc

Usage

After building, simply call:

./endlessh-report
# or
endlessh-report

Arguments

endlessh-report v1.2.3 - A simple report generator for endlessh tarpits.

Usage:
    endlessh-report
    endlessh-report [options]
    endlessh-report --syslog/var/log/syslog.1
    cat <file> | endlessh-report --stdin

Switches:
    --no-ip-stats,  -i      Don't print IP statistics
    --no-cn-stats,  -c      Don't print connection statistics
    --stdin,        -s      Read logs from stdin
    --abuse-ipdb,   -a      Enable AbuseIPDB-compatible CSV output
    --no-ad,        -n      No advertising please!
    --detailed,     -d      Provide detailed information
    --help,         -h      Show this text and exit
    --version,      -v      Display version information and exit

Arguments:
    --syslog [f],   -S[f]   Override syslog/endlessh log location

Output

This program outputs its text in Markdown-compatible form. Because I wrote this program for my own use on my servers, I developed it for use with my report scripts that send me periodic emails.

Recommended use

# requires pandoc
./endlessh-report | pandoc -f markdown -t html | mail -a "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" -s "My Endlessh Report" "[email protected]"

Sample Output

endlessh-report -i generates the following output:

# Connection Statistics
| Total Unique IPs | Total Accepted Connections | Total Closed Connections | Total Alive Connections |
|------------------|----------------------------|--------------------------|-------------------------|
|        372       |            7843            |           7894           |           51            |

Resulting in:

Connection Statistics

Total Unique IPs Total Accepted Connections Total Closed Connections Total Alive Connections
372 7843 7894 51

endlessh-report -c generates the following output: (truncated for readability)

Note that these are all botnet-IPs and are already publicly listed as such.
