# Elasticsearch Recon Ingestion Scripts (ERIS)
> A utility for ingesting various large scale reconnaissance data logs into Elasticsearch

The is a suite of tools to aid in the ingestion of recon data from various sources *(httpx, masscan, zonefiles, etc)* into an [Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch) cluster. The entire codebase is designed with asynconous processing, aswell as load balancing ingestion across all of the nodes in your cluster. Additionally, live data ingestion is supported from many of the sources supported. This means data can be directly processed and ingested into your Elasticsearch cluster instantly. The structure allows for the developement of "modules" or "plugins" if you will, to quickly create custom ingestion helpers for anything!

## Prerequisites
- [python](https://www.python.org/)
    - [elasticsearch](https://pypi.org/project/elasticsearch/) *(`pip install elasticsearch`)*
    - [aiofiles](https://pypi.org/project/aiofiles) *(`pip install aiofiles`)*
    - [aiohttp](https://pypi.org/projects/aiohttp) *(`pip install aiohttp`)*
    - [websockets](https://pypi.org/project/websockets/) *(`pip install websockets`) (only required for `--certs` ingestion)*

## Usage
```shell
python eris.py [options] <input>
```
**Note:** The `<input>` can be a file or a directory of files, depending on the ingestion script.

| `--chunk-size` | Number of records to index in a chunk                    | `50000` |
| `--retries`    | Number of times to retry indexing a chunk before failing | `100`   |
| `--timeout`    | Number of seconds to wait before retrying a chunk        | `60`    |

###### Ingestion arguments
| Argument    | Description              |
|-------------|--------------------------|
| `--certs`   | Index Certstream records |
| `--httpx`   | Index HTTPX records      |
| `--masscan` | Index Masscan records    |
| `--massdns` | Index massdns records    |
| `--zone`    | Index zone DNS records   |

This ingestion suite will use the built in node sniffer, so by connecting to a single node, you can load balance across the entire cluster.
It is good to know how much nodes you have in the cluster to determine how to fine tune the arguments for the best performance, based on your environment.

## Roadmap
- Create a module for RIR database ingestion *(WHOIS, delegations, transfer, ASN mapping, peering, etc)*
- Dynamically update the batch metrics when the sniffer adds or removes nodes.
- Fix issue with `ingest_certs.py` and not needing to pass a file to it.
