NAME

PRADS - Passive Real-time Asset Detection System

SYNOPSIS

prads -i eth1 -v


DESCRIPTION

PRADS is a Passive Real-time Asset Detection System.
 
PRADS employs digital fingerprints to recognize services on the wire, and can be used to map your network and monitor for changes in real time.
 
Real-time passive traffic analysis will also let you detect assets that are just connected to the network for a short period of time, since PRADS can glean useful information from every packet.
 
PRADS aims to be the one-stop-shop for passive asset detection, and currently does MAC lookups, TCP and UDP OS fingerprinting as well as client and service application matching and a connection state table. Various output plugins include logfile and FIFO and make PRADS a useful replacement for p0f, pads and sancp.
 
PRADS was built from the ground up for a small footprint and modern networks with IPv6 and gigabits of throughput.
