Recog Java

CI workflow Maven Central Javadocs

Java implementation of Recog that supports parsing and matching.

Recog Content

Recog content (the XML files containing matchers) is maintained at the upstream recog project. The recog-java tests are configured to download a versioned archive of that repository in order to use the content for testing. The content is otherwise not deployed or handled by the recog-java project, so any consumers of recog-java must provide the content they need.

Getting Started

Add the dependency to your pom file:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.rapid7.recog</groupId>
  <artifactId>recog-java</artifactId>
  <version>0.7.0</version>
</dependency>

Implement a simple Recog client:

public class RecogClient implements Recog {
  private RecogMatchersProvider provider;

  public RecogClient(File matchersDirectory) {
    this.provider = new RecogMatchersProvider(BUILTIN, matchersDirectory);
  }

  @Override
  public List<RecogMatchResult> fingerprint(String description) {
    List<RecogMatchResult> matches = new ArrayList<>();
    for (RecogMatchers matchers : provider.getMatchers(BUILTIN)) {
      for (RecogMatch match : matchers.getMatches(description)) {
        RecogMatcher matcher = match.getMatcher();
        matches.add(new RecogMatchResult(matchers.getKey(), matchers.getType(), matchers.getProtocol(), matchers.getPreference(), match.getMatcher().getDescription(), matcher.getPattern(), matcher.getExamples(), match.getParameters()));
      }
    }
    return matches;
  }

  @Override
  public RecogVersion refreshContent() {
    throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not implemented.");
  }
}

Fingerprint some input:

RecogClient recog = new RecogClient(new File("path/to/recog/xml/"));
List<RecogMatchResult> matchResults = recog.fingerprint("Apache HTTPD 6.5");
// draw the rest of the owl...

Configuring Pattern Matching

By default, recog-java uses Java's standard regular expression package, java.util.regex. To use a different implementation, users can implement their own RecogPatternMatcher instance:

import com.rapid7.recog.pattern.RecogPatternMatcher;

public class CustomPatternMatcher implements RecogPatternMatcher {
  // custom implementation...
}

RecogPatternMatcher patternMatcher = new CustomPatternMatcher("^Apache HTTPD (?<version>.*)$");
RecogMatcher matcher = new RecogMatcher(patternMatcher);
Map<String, String> results = matcher.match("Apache HTTPD 6.5");

Differences from Ruby implementation

This library is not yet at a 1:1 parity with the original rapid7/recog Ruby implementation.

Missing features:

  • Matching against multi-line input strings
  • Command line tools like recog_match

Development

Fork the repository and create a development branch in your fork. Working from the master branch in your fork is not recommended.

  1. Open your favorite IDE or text editor
  2. Make some changes
  3. Add some tests if needed
  4. Run the tests
  5. Push your changes
  6. Open a pull request

You can use mvn clean install to clean compile, run checkstyle, and run all tests.

Code Style

recog-java uses a variation of the Google Java code style, enforced with Checkstyle. Please make sure your changes adhere to this style before submitting a pull request.

Testing

Run mvn test or mvn clean install.
