💖 PRADS-ASSET-REPORT(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for prads-asset-report from the networking section of the manual. it's the PRADS Text Reporting Module and honestly? it's giving main character energy for your logs. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

prads-asset-report — PRADS Text Reporting Module 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

prads-asset-report -r /var/log/prads-asset.log -w
/tmp/asset-report.txt

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so PRADS is a Passive Real-time Asset Detection System. periodt.

PRADS passively listens to network traffic and gathers information on hosts and services it sees on the network. no active scanning, no poking, just vibes and observation 👀. This information can be used to map your network, letting you know what services and hosts are alive/used, or can be used together with your favorite IDS/IPS setup for "event to host/service" correlation.

Gathering info about your hosts in real-time will also let you detect assets that are just connected to the network for a short period of time — and lowkey this is the iconic part, because an active network scan (nmap etc.) would take long time, and not common to run continually, hence missing the asset. imagine missing a whole host bestie, could not be PRADS 😭

prads-asset-report parses prads-asset.log and prints out some useful information about the hosts prads has managed to gather info about. it's literally the receipts. 🧾✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -r <file> — PRADS Raw Report File. this is the input, the source of truth, the whole storyline 📖
  • -w <file> — Output file. where the tea gets written down 🍓
  • -i <IP> — Just get info for this IP. one host, one focus, main character only 💅
  • -n — Do not convert IP addresses to names. keep them raw, no glow-up, no DNS 🚫
  • -p — Do not convert RFC 1918 IP addresses to names. same energy but specifically for the private/internal ones 🏠

😭 PROBLEMS 😭

  1. Much more logic can be built into it! (fr fr, it's a whole mood — there's room to grow 🌱)
