How to Install Zusam on OpenBSD

Zusam is an open source tool for visualizing network traffic using pcap-based file formats. If you are using OpenBSD and want to install Zusam, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To install Zusam, you need to install the following dependencies:

You can install these dependencies using the following command:

$ sudo pkg_add git cmake g++ libpcap

Step 2: Download Zusam

To download Zusam, you need to clone the repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository to your current directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/zusam/zusam.git

This will create a new directory named "zusam" that contains all the necessary files.

Step 3: Build Zusam

Once you have downloaded Zusam, navigate to the "zusam" directory and run the following commands to build it:

$ cd zusam
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

This will build the Zusam executable, which you can use to visualize network traffic.

Step 4: Test Zusam

To test if Zusam is working, you can use a sample pcap file that is included with the repository. Run the following command to visualize the sample pcap file:

$ ./zusam ../samples/pdns-2015-06-01-0.pcap

This will create a window that shows the network traffic from the pcap file.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zusam on OpenBSD. You can now use Zusam to visualize network traffic from pcap files.
