Overview
-========
+--------
Pycapa performs network packet capture, both off-the-wire and from a Kafka topic, which is useful for the testing and development of [Apache Metron](https://github.com/apache/metron). It is not intended for production use. The tool will capture packets from a specified interface and push them into a Kafka Topic. The tool can also do the reverse. It can consume packets from Kafka and reconstruct each network packet. This can then be used to create a [libpcap-compliant file](https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/LibpcapFileFormat) or even to feed directly into a tool like Wireshark to monitor ongoing activity.
Installation
-============
+------------
General notes on the installation of Pycapa.
* Python 2.7 is required.
* The following package dependencies are required and can be installed automatically with `pip`. The requirements are installed as part of step 4
* [confluent-kafka-python](https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-python)
* [pcapy](https://github.com/CoreSecurity/pcapy)
-* These instructions can be used directly on CentOS 7+.
-* Other Linux distributions that come with Python 2.7 can use these instructions with some minor modifications.
-* Older distributions, like CentOS 6, that come with Python 2.6 installed, should install Python 2.7 within a virtual environment and then run Pycapa from within the virtual environment.

+
+1. Set up a couple environment variables.
+
+ ```
+ PYCAPA_HOME=/opt/pycapa
+ PYTHON27_HOME=/opt/rh/python27/root
+ ```
+
+1. Install required packages.
+
+ ```
+ for item in epel-release centos-release-scl "@Development tools" python27 python27-scldevel python27-python-virtualenv libpcap-devel libselinux-python; do yum install -y $item; done
+ ```
+
+1. Setup Pycapa directory.
+
+ ```
+ mkdir $PYCAPA_HOME && chmod 755 $PYCAPA_HOME
+ ```
+
+1. Create the virtualenv.
+
+ ```
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/lib64"
+ cd $PYCAPA_HOME
+ ${PYTHON27_HOME}/usr/bin/virtualenv pycapa-venv
+ ```
+
+1. Install Librdkafka at your chosen $PREFIX.
+
+ ```
+ export PREFIX=/usr
+ wget https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/archive/v0.11.5.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz
+ cd librdkafka-0.11.5/
+ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
+ make
+ make install
+ ```
+
+1. Add Librdkafka to the dynamic library load path.
+
+ ```
+ echo "$PREFIX/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/pycapa.conf
+ ldconfig -v
+ ```
+
+1. Copy the Pycapa source files from the Metron project to your chosen $PYCAPA_HOME (e.g. `/opt/pycapa`). You should have pycapa source files in `/opt/pycapa/pycapa`.
+
+ ```
+ scp -r metron-sensors/pycapa root@node1:$PYCAPA_HOME
+ ```
+
+1. Install Pycapa using the `pycapa-venv` virtualenv you created earlier.
+
+ ```
+ cd ${PYCAPA_HOME}/pycapa
+ # activate the virtualenv
+ source ${PYCAPA_HOME}/pycapa-venv/bin/activate
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
+ python setup.py install
+ ```
+
+1. Special notes on running pycapa on Centos 6. You should run it using the virtualenv.
+
+ ```
+ cd ${PYCAPA_HOME}/pycapa-venv/bin
+ pycapa --producer --kafka-topic pcap --interface eth1 --kafka-broker $BROKERLIST
+ ```
+
+**Note:** To deactivate your virtualenv, simply type "deactivate" and hit enter.
