AIL

AIL framework - Framework for Analysis of Information Leaks

AIL is a modular framework to analyse potential information leaks from unstructured data sources like pastes from Pastebin or similar services. AIL framework is flexible and can be extended to support other functionalities to mine sensitive information.

Features

• Modular architecture to handle stream of unstructured or structured information
• Default support for external ZMQ feeds as provided by CIRCL or other providers
• Each modules can process and reprocess the information already processed by AIL
• Detecting and extracting URLs including their geographical location (e.g. IP addresses location)
• Extracting and validating potential leak of credit cards numbers
• Extracting and validating email addresses leaked including DNS MX validation
• Module for extracting Tor .onion addresses (to be further processed for analysis)
• Extracting and validating potential hostnames (e.g. to feed Passive DNS systems)
• A full-text indexer module to index unstructured information
• Many more modules for extracting phone numbers, credentials, ...

Installation

Type these command lines for a fully automated installation and start AIL framework

git clone https://github.com/CIRCL/AIL-framework.git
cd AIL-framework
./installing_deps.sh
cd var/www/
./update_thirdparty.sh
cd ~/AIL-framework/
. ./AILENV/bin/activate
cd bin/
./LAUNCH.sh

The default installing_deps.sh is for Debian and Ubuntu based distribution. For Arch linux based distribution, you can replace it with installing_deps_archlinux.sh.

There is also a Travis file used for automating the installation that can be used to build and install AIL on other systems.

Starting AIL web interface

To start with the web interface, you need to fetch the required Javascript/CSS files:

cd $AILENV
cd var/www/
bash update_thirdparty.sh

and then you can start the web interface:

cd $AILENV
cd var/www/
Flask_server.py

Eventually you can browse the status of the AIL framework at the following URL:

    ``http://localhost:7000/``

How to create a new module

If you want to add a new processing or analysis module in AIL, it's simple.

1. Add your module name in ./bin/packages/modules.cfg and subscribe to the Redis_Global at minimum.

2. Use ./bin/template.py as a sample module and create a new file in bin/ with the module name used in the modules.cfg configuration.
