|
||||
|
||||
## GeoIP Enrichment
|
||||
|
||||
The application automatically enriches captured packets with geolocation data for remote IP addresses:
|
||||
|
||||
**Features:**
|
||||
- Automatically detects the server's public IP address
|
||||
- Identifies private/local IP addresses (RFC 1918, link-local, etc.)
|
||||
- Only enriches remote public IP addresses
|
||||
- Uses local GeoIP database (no external API calls during capture)
|
||||
- Adds geolocation data for both source and destination IPs
|
||||
|
||||
**GeoIP Data Included:**
|
||||
- Country code and name
|
||||
- Region/state
|
||||
- City
|
||||
- Timezone
|
||||
- Geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude)
|
||||
- Geo-point data for Elasticsearch geo queries
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works:**
|
||||
1. On startup, the application detects its public IP using an external service (ipify.org)
|
||||
2. For each packet, it identifies if source/destination IPs are remote
|
||||
3. Remote IPs are enriched with GeoIP data from the local database
|
||||
4. Private IPs, loopback, and the server's own IP are excluded
|
||||
|
||||
**Example GeoIP document structure:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"geoip_src": {
|
||||
"country": "US",
|

⚠️ **Important Security Notes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- This tool captures network traffic and may contain sensitive information
|
||||
- GeoIP data reveals geographic locations of communication endpoints
|
||||
- Store Elasticsearch credentials securely
|
||||
- Restrict access to the Elasticsearch index
|
||||
- Be aware of privacy and legal implications when capturing network traffic
|
||||
- Use encryption for Elasticsearch connections in production
|
||||
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations
|
||||
- The public IP detection makes an external HTTPS call to ipify.org on startup
|
||||
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding network monitoring and data retention
