Downloading the capture software

Participation in the ITHI study requires installing capture scripts on the participating servers. These scripts typically use the DNSCAP utility and the ITHICAP plugin. The software must be installed before testing or running the capture scripts.

• Dnscap is maintained by DNS-OARC. One option is to clone and build from GitHub. Another option is to get the tarball from DNS-OARC, and to follow the build steps specified in the DNSCAP README on GitHub.

• The Ithicap plug-in is build as part of the Ithitools, as explained on the Ithitool project page.

For a while, this project tried to maintain binary versions of ITHITOOLS and ITHICAP for Centos/Fedora and Ubuntu. These binary versions were not used much. Users should instead clone and compile the project, as explained in the README.md file.

Instructions for combining DNSCAP and ITHICAP are provideded here.
