Gathering Network Statistics

# In PS CTP2v3, .NET access to IP statistics is non-existent. There are no static members 
# for the interface statistics yet, although there are non static members:

[System.Net.NetworkInformation.IcmpV4Statistics].getmembers() | %{$_.name}
[System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalStatistics].getmembers() | %{$_.name}

Working with netmon caps in Powershell

An update to this post 8:32 PM 8/7/2009:

I have no path to loading nmcap files into powershell now that logparser does not work with Netmon 3.3 file format. I added my comment to this feature request:

https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=265564&SiteID=216

"The jump between 3.2 and 3.3 file formats/APIs broke logparser2.2 interface to netmon files which was extraordinarily useful since logparser would convert file formats, sql-lize queries, create charts and datagrids, etc. Examples are below. Granted this is probably a logparser (e.g. unsupported ware) defect, however...The real defect is here is that there is no path to convert Netmon 3.3 captures files to CSV.C:\Program Files (x86)\Log Parser 2.2>logparser -headers OFF -stats NO -i:NETMON -o:CSV "SELECT DateTime,SrcMAC,SrcPort,DstMAC,DstPort,WindowSize FROM32.cap"2009-01-13 11:37:53,00095B00F3DA,80,0013021A607B,2004,328902009-01-13 11:37:53,0013021A607B,2006,00095B00F3DA,80,163842009-01-13 11:37:54,00095B00F3DA,80,0013021A607B,2006,58402009-01-13 11:37:54,0013021A607B,2006,00095B00F3DA,80,175202009-01-13 11:37:54,0013021A607B,2006,00095B00F3DA,80,17520.....C:\Program Files (x86)\Log Parser 2.2>logparser -headers OFF -i:NETMON -o:CSV "SELECT DateTime,SrcMAC,SrcPort,DstMAC,DstPort,WindowSize FROM 33.cap"Statistics:-----------Elements processed: 0Elements output: 0Execution time: 0.01 seconds"

Once you have a capture in the form of an object, you can do interesting work with it in powershell:


$DstSrcPort_8NET = $capture where-object {($_.SrcIP -match "^8\." ) -or ($_.DstIP -match "^8\.")}
$DstSrcPort_8NET Sort DateTime -unique ft more
$DstSrcPort_8NET group-object DstPort Sort -descending Count
$DstSrcPort_8NET measure-object -average -minimum -maximum -property WindowSize
$a = $DstSrcPort_8NET Sort SrcIP -unique
$a %{[System.Net.DNS]::Resolve($_.SrcIP)}



In progress...concating collections of nmcap files and searching them for specific SrcIP and DstIp with Powershell and LogParser. This code is working now, but still "to be continued"...

function Search-IP($IP_String)
{ #start function
(ls -name *.cap)
foreach-object -begin {$file =[DateTime]::now.ToFileTime().ToString()} `
-process {
$filename = $_ ;
$temp = logparser -headers OFF -stats NO -i:NETMON -o:CSV "SELECT DateTime,SrcIP,SrcPort,DstIP,DstPort,WindowSize FROM $filename" ;
out-file -inputobject $temp -append -noclobber -filepath $file} `
-end {
$header = "DateTime","SrcIP","SrcPort","DstIP","DstPort","WindowSize" ;
$Global:capture = Import-csv $file -header $header ;
$Global:MatchIPObject = $capture where-object {$_ -match $IP_String} ;
$Global:MatchIPString = Select-String $IP_String $file -AllMatches}
} #end function
