Marking Nepenthes' log with GeoIP

I always wanted to let my Nepenthes log meaningful, rather than cryptic columns which is pretty much boring.

So this is what I did after several searches on the Net... some of the link just show the result, and I wonder why don't they just *put* the script online. Here goes!


Let say, I am processing /var/log/nepenthes/logged_downloads

116.7.16.130 df51e3310ef609e908a6b487a28ac068

I want it to be:

Russian Federation ,95.28.56.118 , 7d99b0e9108065ad5700a899a1fe3441
Russian Federation ,95.28.63.209 , 7d99b0e9108065ad5700a899a1fe3441

Russian Federation ,95.29.28.40 , 7d99b0e9108065ad5700a899a1fe3441

United States ,98.101.106.156 , 7d99b0e9108065ad5700a899a1fe3441


If I just invoked "geoip" tool from the BASH command line, it's going to be:

for ip in `awk {'print $1'} hcountry.txt`; do echo "$ip" `geoiplookup $ip|awk
-F "GeoIP Country Edition" {'print $2'}`; done

This, however only like this:

114.136.161.59 : TW, Taiwan
114.136.83.68 : TW, Taiwan
114.137.222.91 : TW, Taiwan
114.43.232.67 : TW, Taiwan
115.171.144.48 : CN, China
115.177.145.254 : JP, Japan
116.10.232.29 : CN, China
116.11.39.46 : CN, China
116.1.222.156 : CN, China
116.19.174.223 : CN, China
116.206.128.101 : MY, Malaysia
116.206.147.239 : MY, Malaysia
116.226.37.237 : CN, China
116.227.187.234 : CN, China

without the hash.

I solve the problem by using Python language.. it worked, despite my minimal knowledge in Python.. also some clue from a friend :)

import re
import sys

import GeoIP

GEOIP_DATABASE='/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat'

geoip=GeoIP.open(GEOIP_DATABASE,GeoIP.GEOIP_STANDARD)

for line in open("chcountry.txt"):

columns = line.split(',')

negara=geoip.country_name_by_addr(columns[0])

x=columns[1].strip("\n")

print columns[0],(','),negara,(','),x



Also, if you simply want to use geoiplookup from CLI directly, I asked a friend who gave me a solution here (final one)

awk '{ ("geoiplookup " $1) | getline d; split(d, data, ":"); print data[2]
";" $1 ";" $2; close ("geoiplookup "$1); }' hcountry.txt

Beijing and image manipulation addict Salam, Image manipulation with command line is fun and time consuming too. Given my Digikam plugins unable to work, I start to figure out many wonderful features of other tool which offer almost the same quality. However I was stucked with ImageMagick,with many tutorial on the net: Here and Here for i in *jpg ;do convert -font helvetica -fill white -pointsize 18 -draw 'text 10,50 "ACM-ICPC Beijing 2005"' $i $i;done The pix above shows a heater to heat up guest room during ACM-ICPC competition. (outside building's temperature is almost 4 celcious).
