💖 PADS 💖

ok bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're doing the pads-report page from the System Manager's Manual and it's lowkey iconic. it's giving "tiny tool, huge main character energy." 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pads-report — the PADS Text Reporting Module, no cap 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pads-report <hnp> <-r file > <-w file >

that's the whole vibe. <hnp> and the two file slots. slay. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕ — pads-report is a Perl based reporting module, and it's meant to be used with the Passive Asset Detection System (aka PADS, iykyk).

what does it actually do tho? it takes a raw PADS data file 📁 and processes it into a readable text report. that's it. that's the job. and it ate. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h — show the help / usage info. the classic "what do i even type" button 🫶
  • -n — do not convert IP addresses into names. keep them as raw numbers, mysterious and unbothered 💅
  • -p — do not convert RFC 1918 IP addresses into names. ⚠️ heads up bestie: the -n option overrides this one, so if you set both, -n is the one calling the shots. periodt.
  • -r file — read packets from a libpcap formatted file. yes, that kind of file. 📦
  • -w file — dump the data into a file other than assets.csv. because sometimes you just need a different name, okay?? 🌸
