Network traffic artifact upload

Malcolm serves a web browser-based upload form for uploading PCAP files and Zeek logs at https://localhost/upload/ if connecting locally.

Network traffic artifact upload

Additionally, there is a writable files directory on an SFTP server served on port 8022 (e.g., sftp://USERNAME@localhost:8022/files/ if connecting locally).

The types of files supported are:

Files uploaded via these methods are monitored and moved automatically to other directories for processing, generally within 1 minute of completion of the upload.

Tagging

In addition to being processed for uploading, Malcolm events will be tagged according to the components of the filenames of the PCAP files or Zeek log archives files from which the events were parsed. For example, records created from a PCAP file named ACME_Scada_VLAN10.pcap would be tagged with ACME, Scada, and VLAN10. Tags are extracted from filenames by splitting on the characters , (comma), - (dash), and _ (underscore). These tags are viewable and searchable (via the tags field) in Arkime and OpenSearch Dashboards. This behavior can be changed by modifying the AUTO_TAG environment variable in upload-common.env.

Tags may also be specified manually with the browser-based upload form.
