Hale
Hale is a botnet command and control monitor designed to track and analyze C&C server communications across multiple protocols. The tool features a modular architecture that allows for the development of custom monitoring modules for different protocols used by command and control servers. The system includes built-in IRC and HTTP monitoring modules developed with Twisted framework to handle large-scale connection monitoring. These modules offer configurable protocol grammar and bot settings that can be customized to meet specific monitoring requirements. All captured data, including logs, files, and tracked IP addresses (for IRC monitoring), are stored in a database for analysis and research purposes. The tool supports connection routing through SOCKSv5 proxies to maintain operator anonymity during monitoring operations. Hale provides a web-based interface built with Django and Google Visualization API that allows users to browse captured logs, view statistical charts, and analyze timeline data. The web interface includes RESTful API support with OAuth authentication and an integrated search engine for efficient data retrieval. The tool is designed to facilitate collaborative botnet research through a network of distributed sensors. An XMPP bot component enables connection to centralized XMPP servers with dedicated group rooms for sensor coordination and log sharing between researchers.
