I am trying to use CICFlowmeter (https://pypi.org/project/cicflowmeter/) which is a tool that extracts feature from pcap file and converts them into a csv file. I have tried on windows 10,11 but for that we need Tcpdump which is incompatible with windows. If someone could help with setting up on Ubuntu I would really appreciate it.

Tried Windows 10,11. Tried on Ubuntu but as I am new to it, I feel I am having issues with directories. I have installed CICFlowmeter from the link ( from python) but unable to run it.

Would it help if the Ubuntu system were on your Windows machine?
What is the Windows Subsystem for Linux?

Hi, I am using Ubuntu in VirtualBox. If you see the link I provided, I am unable to download CICFlowmeter using python on Ubuntu.

So the pip install fails? Did you try git clone?

I have tried the git clone and cloned the CICFlowmeter in Home on my Ubuntu Desktop. After going to the cicflowmeter directory and running: cicflowmeter -f example.pcap -c flows.csv, it shows that: "No module named 'requests' along with a few other lines of error. It might be something very basic that I am missing. I can't seem to post screenshots here, if you are on discord do let me know and I can send some screenshots.

You ran the setup step (python setup.py install) and are using python3?
(**REQUIRES_PYTHON = ">=3.7.0"**)

Maybe the setup step should be python3 setup.py install ?

The Solution:

I was unable to set it up on linux however, the tool works fine with Windows 10, 11. It can be downloaded from the following link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Once downloaded, extract it, go to bin and open the batch file and you will see GUI asking you to perform offline or real time analysis.
