Birdseye is a tool to monitor and display traceroutes using geolocation on IP addresses.

Our Software is web based and uses the freegeoip.net api to get geolocation information. when an ip address or a domain is entered, our back-end server runs a traceroute, fetch that data for each ip and returns that information to the front-end in a JSON object. We are using JQuery, underscore and Backbone.js on the front end to structure our code following MVC design methods. We use the Google Maps API to display each location on a map and interact with the markers.

We'll start by installing some programs for our dependency management

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip 
$ sudo apt-get install npm
$ sudo npm install -g bower

We don't want to pollute your environment so install virtualenv

$ sudo pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv ./birdseye/lib/python_modules
$ source ./birdseye/lib/python_modules/bin/activate

Now we can safely install our deps

$ pip install -r test_requirements.txt
$ bower install

Installing PCap

Go to: http://www.tcpdump.org/#latest-release
Look for: libpcap-1.6.2.tar.gz
Download/extract
cd to extracted directory
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
1..2..3..Done! (I hope).

Now run the webserver accordingly

$ python ./manage.py runserver
