Implementing Network Traffic Analysis With Arkime

Queries Arkime (formerly Moloch) full packet capture via its API to search sessions, download PCAPs, detect C2 beaconing through connection interval/jitter stats, spot DNS tunneling via query-length analysis, and flag known-bad TLS certificate issuers, using the bundled scripts/agent.py. Use when investigating suspicious network flows or doing full-packet-capture forensics against an Arkime deployment.

Implementing Network Traffic Analysis with Arkime

When to Use

When deploying or configuring implementing network traffic analysis with arkime capabilities in your environment
When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
When building or improving security architecture for this domain
When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

Familiarity with network security concepts and tools
Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Instructions

Install dependencies: pip install requests
Configure Arkime viewer URL and credentials.
Run the agent to query Arkime sessions and analyze traffic:
- Search sessions by IP, port, protocol, or expression
- Download PCAP data for forensic analysis
- Detect C2 beaconing via connection interval analysis
- Identify DNS tunneling through query length statistics
- Flag connections to known-bad TLS certificate issuers

python scripts/agent.py --arkime-url https://arkime.local:8005 --user admin --password secret --output arkime_report.json
