Overview of the Teleseer user interface

The Teleseer user interface consists of three main sections:

  • Viewer
  • Inspector
  • Timeline
Core Components

Viewer

The Viewer section contains the topology, inventory tables, and the credentials table.

Viewer components

Topology

The Network tab contains the visualization of the reconstructed network topology. Within this view, users will see all physical and logical connections between hosts.

Hovering over an host within the topology with provide the user with a high-level summary of the host.

Inventory

The Inventory displays all identified hosts in a tabular format. The table can be sorted by clicking on the desired header. Clicking on a table row will update the Inspector panel with detailed information about the selected host.

External Hosts

External Hosts are hosts that are identified to be in the public IP address space. Much like the Inventory panel, the table can be sorted and rows can be clicked on to reveal additional information about the selected host.

Credentials

The Credentials table displays a listing of all plaintext usernames and passwords detected by the deep packet inspection engine. Hovering over an item displays additional information.

Connections

The Connections table allows users to view (and search) all network connections within the current project.

Dashboard

The Dashboard contains a variety of tables and charts that can help users identify who is on their network and what is happening on their network.

Inspector

The Inspector panel contains detailed information about one or more selected hosts. It is divided into several sections:
To view detailed information about a host, select the desired host within the Topology, Inventory, or External Hosts section.

Inspector panel

Import

The Import panel allows users to add additional collection files to the current project.

Timeline

The Timeline displays an interactive listing of all traffic that occurred within the given file set or originated from the selected host(s). Each block within the timeline represents a point in time where data was transferred over the network. Hovering over a protocol block will display the amount of data transferred within the given time period. Clicking on a block will populate the Inspector panel with detailed information about the connection(s) that took place during the given time period.

When the Smart Filter is activated (by default), selecting a host within the topology will update the timeline to display only the protocols created by the selected host(s).
