ccc script to run CLI tasks & show system info.

Installation

curl_cli $(if [[ `grep proxy:ip /config/active` ]];then echo -n '--proxy ';grep proxy:ip /config/active|cut -f2 -d' '|tr -d '\n';echo -n :;grep proxy:port /config/active|cut -f2 -d' ';fi) -k https://dannyjung.de/ccc|zcat > /usr/bin/ccc && chmod +x /usr/bin/ccc;. ~/.bashrc

Danny,

The CCC script is now pretty mature and perhaps it is possible to serve it from HTTPS with hash verification for installation from "Expert mode"?

Something along the lines of solution described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2086424/creating-a-file-downloading-script-with-checksum-verific...

Regards,

Vladimir

[Danny]

Yes, that's on the roadmap.

[Daniel_Hainich]

very nice! thanks a lot!

@Vladimir: ccc is now served securely via HTTPS and uses SHA-512 to secure it's self-updates.

Secure Installation in expert mode :
src=`curl_cli -fsk https://dannyjung.de/ccc | zcat 2>/dev/null`; if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then if [[ `echo "$src" | sha512sum | cut -d " " -f 1` == `curl_cli -fsk https://dannyjung.de/ccc-sha512 | zcat` ]]; then echo "$src" > /usr/bin/ccc && chmod +x /usr/bin/ccc; else echo "SHA-512 doesn't match."; fi; else echo "No connection to dannyjung.de"; fi; unset src

[Vladimir]

This is great!

Do you intend on hosting CCC yourself or are there considerations to move it to Check Point in the future?

[Danny]

I would love to move it to Check Point, but they don't seem to be interested at the moment.

@Danny & @Vladimir, I think it is not a question of interest. There is an issue of support, updates and liabilities in case Check Point hosts this tool. It is not as easy as it seems...

Hi Danny Sir,

I am gatting below error

[Expert@CP-R80.20:0]# ccc
-bash: /usr/bin/ccc: Permission denied
[Expert@CP-R80.20:0]#

[_Val_]

@suhasbhoir make sure your permissions are set properly:

chmod +x /usr/bin/ccc

Fantastic work!!!

Strange error with newest version:

 MAIN < FIREWALL GATEWAY

execute first line:

  fw stat; ips stat; fw stat -b AMW; cpstat -f all polsrv; cp_conf sic state  Show FW + IPS/TP + Policy Server + SIC status

/usr/bin/ccc: eval: line 471: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'

/usr/bin/ccc: eval: line 472: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Done.

[Danny]

Fixed in version 4.5

[Bechor]

Hi Danny,

Thank you for this great tool and keep it updated with more and more RFEs 🙂

Please consider adding the [ watch --i 1 --d 'cpstat -f fragments fw' ] to see if the GW is handling any fragmentation every sec.

[Danny]

Hi Bechor,

thanks for your support.

I'm working on an update that will cover all the requests regarding the watch command to be included.

[Danny]

Added in version 4.6

[CSR]

Its Awesome...

Thanks,
CSR

[Haris_Chaudhry]

AMAZING !

This should be renamed to 

"Ultimate Checkpoint Toolkit"

Thanks for all your handwork on this.

[Denis_Spirin]

Does using scripts like this or installing other 3rd parties packages (lets say Python) affect Vendor Support? Void it somehow?

[Hugo_vd_Kooij]

The script seems to follow the normal (debug) commans you can find in SecureKnowledge.

No harm in using them. But as with every tool. You can also do some damage if you use it incorrectly.

[Danny]

I'm glad to announce that ccc is recommended in the book: 📕 Max Power 2020 by @Timothy_Hall .

[Danny]

The PDF slides of my CPX 2020 presentation in Vienna, which features a ccc special, can be found here.

I can provide you with the PPTX version upon request.

[Ryan_Ryan]

Danny, this tool is fantastic thank you!

I know this may be an impossible task because I am not sure these commands exist but would love to see:

• IPsec VPN phase 1 (with local IP, peer IP and lifetime remaining)
• IPsec VPN phase 2 security associations with encryption domain IP addresses in a readable format and lifetime remaining

thanks

Hi Danny,

long time no ccc install.

Today I installed ccc to a VSX R80.30 cluster and possibly I found a small bug.

The "shown blades" in the summary only shows "FW" even if there are more active blades.

More over:

ccc is showing that coreXL is off when running it on vsx.

This is correct, but somehow not the truth.

How about just showing "vsx" at corexl when ccc is detecting a vsx system?

Thanks for your efforts!

Cheers

Sven

[Danny]

Hi @Sven_Glock,

could you please tell me what enabled_blades is showing at your VSX host?

As for VSX and CoreXL, ccc is already showing that it's a VSX host, right?

Regards,
Danny

[Danny]

I'm glad to announce that ccc is now officially credited in Check Point's GAiA HealthCheck script for checks courtesy of ccc. Thanks @Nathan_Davieau.

[Sven_Glock]

People who has to use proxy can use this command to get ccc:

curl_cli --proxy proxy:port -k https://dannyjung.de/ccc | zcat > /usr/bin/ccc && chmod +x /usr/bin/ccc

[Danny]

ℹ️ For those wanting to see the system info screen only, run ccc like this: echo q | ccc | head -n-16

[Troy_Yeske]

This is really nice.  Do you typically install this on the Mgmt server only or on Mgmt and GW's?

[Danny]

ccc is typically installed on all types of Check Point Gaia based systems. This includes management servers, gateways, clusters, VSX environments and even Maestro Hyperscale solutions. Embedded Gaia (SMB) is not supported yet.
