Leprechaun : Tool Used To Map Out Network Data Flow To Help Penetration Testers

Leprechaun purpose of this tool is to help penetration testers identify potentially valuable targets on the internal network environment. By aggregating netstat routes from multiple hosts, you can easily figure out what’s going on within.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

You’ll need a few Ruby gems to get started – if you don’t have them already, that is.

gem install ‘securerandom’
gem install ‘terminal-table’
gem install ‘getopt’

Lastly, make sure you have Graphviz installed. You can install that with the following command:

apt install graphviz -y
