30.Dt NPFD 8
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm npfd
34.Nd packet filter logging and state synchronization daemon
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Nm npfd
37.Op Fl D
38.Op Fl d Ar delay
39.Op Fl f Ar filename
40.Op Fl i Ar interface
41.Op Fl p Ar pidfile
42.Op Fl s Ar snaplen
43.Op Ar expression
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45.Nm
46is a background daemon which reads packets logged by
47.Xr npf 7
48to an
49.\" .Xr npflog 4
50npflog
51interface, normally
52.Pa npflog0 ,
53and writes the packets to a logfile (normally
54.Pa /var/log/npflog0.pcap )
55in
56.Xr pcap 3
57format, which can be read by
58.Xr tcpdump 8 .
59These logs can be reviewed later using the
60.Fl r
61option of
62.Xr tcpdump 8 ,
63hopefully offline in case there are bugs in the packet parsing code of
64.Xr tcpdump 8 .
65.Pp
66.Nm
67closes and then re-opens the log file when it receives
68.Dv SIGHUP ,
69permitting
70.Xr newsyslog 8
71to rotate logfiles automatically.
72.Dv SIGALRM
73causes
74.Nm
75to flush the current logfile buffers to the disk, thus making the most
76recent logs available.
77The buffers are also flushed every
78.Ar delay
79seconds.
80.Pp
81If the log file contains data after a restart or a
82.Dv SIGHUP ,
83new logs are appended to the existing file.
84If the existing log file was created with a different snaplen,
85.Nm
86temporarily uses the old snaplen to keep the log file consistent.
87.Pp
88.Nm
89tries to preserve the integrity of the log file against I/O errors.
90Furthermore, integrity of an existing log file is verified before
91appending.
92If there is an invalid log file or an I/O error, the log file is moved
93out of the way and a new one is created.
94If a new file cannot be created, logging is suspended until a
95.Dv SIGHUP
96or a
97.Dv SIGALRM
98is received.
99.Pp
100If
101.Dv SIGINFO
102is received, then
103.Nm
104logs capture statistics to
105.Xr syslogd 8 .
106.Pp
107The options are as follows:
108.Bl -tag -width Ds
109.It Fl D
110Debugging mode.
111.Nm
112does not disassociate from the controlling terminal.
113.It Fl d Ar delay
114Time in seconds to delay between automatic flushes of the file.
115This may be specified with a value between 5 and 3600 seconds.
116If not specified, the default is 60 seconds.
117.It Fl f Ar filename
118Log output filename.
119Default is
120.Pa /var/log/npflog0.pcap .
121.It Fl i Ar interface
122Specifies the
123npflog
124.\" .Xr if_npflog 4
125interface to use.
126By default,
127.Nm
128will use
129.Ar npflog0 .
130.It Fl p Ar pidfile
131Writes a file containing the process ID of the program.
132The file name has the form
133.Pa /var/run/npfd.pid .
134If the option is not given,
135.Ar pidfile
136defaults to
137.Pa npfd .
138.It Fl s Ar snaplen
139Analyze at most the first
140.Ar snaplen
141bytes of data from each packet rather than the default of 116.
142The default of 116 is adequate for IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP headers but may
143truncate protocol information for other protocols.
144Other file parsers may desire a higher snaplen.
145.\" .It Fl x
146.\" Check the integrity of an existing log file, and return.
147.It Ar expression
148Selects which packets will be dumped, using the regular language of
149.Xr tcpdump 8 .
150.El
151.Sh FILES
152.Bl -tag -width /var/run/npflog0.pcap -compact
153.It Pa /var/run/npfd.pid
154Process ID of the currently running
155.Nm .
156.It Pa /var/log/npflog0.pcap
157Default log file.
158.El
159.Sh EXAMPLES
160Log specific tcp packets to a different log file with a large snaplen
161(useful with a log-all rule to dump complete sessions):
162.Bd -literal -offset indent
163# npfd -s 1600 -f suspicious.log port 80 and host evilhost
164.Ed
165.Pp
166Log from another
167.\" .Xr pflog 4
168npflog
169interface, excluding specific packets:
170.Bd -literal -offset indent
171# npfd -i npflog3 -f network3.log "not (tcp and port 23)"
172.Ed
173.Pp
174Display binary logs:
175.Bd -literal -offset indent
176# tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/npflog0.pcap
177.Ed
178.Pp
179Display the logs in real time (this does not interfere with the
180operation of
181.Nm ) :
182.Bd -literal -offset indent
183# tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i npflog0.pcap
184.Ed
185.Pp
186Tcpdump has been extended to be able to filter on the
187.Ox
188pfloghdr
189structure defined in
190.Ar sys/net/npf/if_npflog.h .
191Tcpdump can restrict the output
192to packets logged on a specified interface, a rule number, a reason,
193a direction, an IP family or an action.
194.Pp
195.Bl -tag -width "ruleset rules " -compact
196.It ip
197Address family equals IPv4.
198.It ip6
199Address family equals IPv6.
200.It ifname kue0
201Interface name equals "kue0".
202.It on kue0
203Interface name equals "kue0".
204.It ruleset rules
205Ruleset name equals "rules".
206.It rulenum 10
207Rule number equals 10.
208.It reason match
209Reason equals match.

217.It inbound
218The direction was inbound.
219.It outbound
220The direction was outbound.
221.El
222.Pp
223Display the logs in real time of inbound packets that were blocked on
224the wi0 interface:
225.Bd -literal -offset indent
226# tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i npflog0 inbound and action block and on wi0
227.Ed
