CoralReef is a CoralReef is a comprehensive software suite developed by CAIDA to collect and analyze data from passive Internet traffic monitors, in real time or from trace files. Full details are provided on the http://www.caida.org/tools/measurement/coralreef/. This exercise is one of a set designed to introduce you to CoralReef, providing a `hands-on' experience of analysing network data.
Before you can use CoralReef it must be installed on your Unix or Linux system. A copy of the CoralReef distriubution package is provided on the IEC CD, and these exercies have all been tested using it. Alternatively, the current version is available from the CoralReef web site.
Installing the software involves running its autoconfigure script,
running make depend and make to build the libraries and
applications, then
make install to put the CoralReef material
into appropriate directories. Again, full details of the install
process are given on the web site.
By default, CoralReef is installed in the
/usr/local/Coral
directory. To simplify running CoralReef application programs,
the /usr/local/Coral/bin directory should be included in your
PATH environment variable. Once this is done the applications
can be run by entering their name, followed by the name of the
trace file(s) they are to work on, e.g.
crl_info ODU-962010098.crl.enc
