["Cortes, Joseph" <joseph.cortes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Florent,

Thanks for the info; I already have a price for the card and pod and will most probably be getting it.

I am fairly conversant with Linux. Can you please send me some instructions on how to get this going, what particular distro do you recommend ?

Joe

 

If you have any questions or comments please let me know.

      Hello,


I will just complete the answers of Anders.
For each of the three board manufacturers referenced in the capture/SS7
wiki, a Web Site link is available.
You can have a look at the distributors list on the Web site, I think all
of them have resellers in Europe.
But I think you should first contact the sales and request for a quotation,
and/or for additional informations to be sure this is  the system you are
expecting.

For my part, I have got an Endace DAG37T board on a linux PC to monitor the
target system.
The board can monitor 8 E1/T1 duplex  (8 ports for RX and 8 ports for TX on
the external 16-port Pod)
( see http://www.endace.com/dag3.7T.htm )
To setup the system, you have to compile the linus kernel, and to integrate
a specific module for the board.
Then you will have to compile the last libpcap to integrate the specific
API for the board.
And finally, you will have to compile the last version of wireshark (or at
leat 99.5) to link to your private libpcap.

For the connectic, you have to use Y cables  (or better E1/T1 Tap), because
the system is not working in loop mode.
Once the monitoring system is installed and configured, you can capture and
analyze in real-time the trafic on the E1/T1 links with wireshark.

Best regards.
Florent

Hi,
Following the "endance" link on the wiki gives
http://www.endace.com/contact.htm I'm sure Intel will have the samy type of
info. I have no experience of these cards myself.
Best regards
Anders

      Hello Joseph,


Sorry for the delay.
As said Anders, you can have a look at the wiki.
The boards integrated with the PCAP library can be used under several OSs
(libpcap for Unix, Winpcap for windows) to do realtime monitoring.
In any case, I suggest you to use the last PCAP library, there are a lot of
changes concerning the SS7.

Regards
Florent

Florent,

Are you by any chance capturing ss7 directly using Wireshark?

If so what hardware (ss7 card are you using, OS, etc...)

Thanks

      Joseph,


You could add your utility in the tools section of the wireshark wiki
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Tools

The datalink value for MTP2 is 140, so as the datalink is already
existing,
you do not need to use a User Datalink.
The value of the datalink are stored in wiretap/libpcap.c, or in the
libpcap sources.

Regards
Florent

Florent,

I already realised that, I have actually written a small utility to ever
come this i.e. to convert from hex text to Wireshark pcap in one go.

Where can I post this for other users with this problem?

One small question why did you specify -l 140 ? Does this indicate MTP2,
I am using -l 147 and then setting the payload to MTP2 under one of the
DLT user settings for 147.

Joe

      Hello,


You have to modify your test file to add an "ascii dump" at each end of
line, and to remove the lines containing a description
(see the attached text file).
Then you will have to convert the file with:
text2pcap -l 140 hex2.txt hex2.cap

The link layer for Gr interface is MTP2.

(See attached file: hex2.txt)(See attached file: hex2.cap)

Hi,

Totally new to the wireshark product:

I've captured the following on the Gr interface i.e. between the SGSN
and
the HLR on a Nettest MPA 7300 and save the capture as hex only. (file
attached)

I've tried the text2pcap ? l 147 hex.txt hex.cap ( Not sure if this is
what
I should be doing) this creates the hex.cap file.

C:\Programs\Wireshark>text2pcap -l 147 hex.txt hex.cap
Input from: hex.txt
Output to: hex.cap
Wrote packet of 15 bytes at 0
Wrote packet of 15 bytes at 15
Wrote packet of 15 bytes at 30
Wrote packet of 15 bytes at 45
Wrote packet of 15 bytes at 60
Wrote packet of 15 bytes at 75
Read 6 potential packets, wrote 6 packets


I open this file with wireshark, then under DLT user A I select the
DLT=147
and the payload as gsm_map but I get

"DLT User A: No such proto: gsm_map"

How do I go about to decode this file??

Thanks

Joe
