Function Documentation

  char* libnet_addr2name4 (u_int32_t in, u_int8_t use_name)

Takes a network byte ordered IPv4 address and returns a pointer to either a canonical DNS name (if it has one) or a string of dotted decimals. This may incur a DNS lookup if the hostname and mode is set to LIBNET_RESOLVE. If mode is set to LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE, no DNS lookup will be performed and the function will return a pointer to a dotted decimal string. The function cannot fail -- if no canonical name exists, it will fall back on returning a dotted decimal string. This function is non-reentrant.

Parameters:
    in network byte ordered IPv4 address
    use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE

Returns:
    a pointer to presentation format string

  void libnet_addr2name6_r (struct libnet_in6_addr addr, u_int8_t use_name, char * host_name, int host_name_len)

Should document this baby right here.

  int libnet_adv_cull_header (libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag, u_int8_t ** header, u_int32_t * header_s)

[Advanced Interface] Pulls the header from the specified ptag from the given libnet context. This function is part of the advanced interface and is only available when libnet is initialized in advanced mode. If the function fails libnet_geterror() can tell you why.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    ptag the ptag referencing the header to pull
    header will contain the header
    header_s will contain the header size

Returns:
    1 on success, -1 on failure

  int libnet_adv_cull_packet (libnet_t * l, u_int8_t ** packet, u_int32_t * packet_s)

[Advanced Interface] Yanks a prebuilt, wire-ready packet from the given libnet context. If libnet was configured to do so (which it is by default) the packet will have all checksums written in. This function is part of the advanced interface and is only available when libnet is initialized in advanced mode. It is important to note that the function performs an implicit malloc() and a corresponding call to libnet_adv_free_packet() should be made to free the memory packet occupies. If the function fails libnet_geterror() can tell you why.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    packet will contain the wire-ready packet
    packet_s will contain the packet size

Returns:
    1 on success, -1 on failure

  void libnet_adv_free_packet (libnet_t * l, u_int8_t * packet)

[Advanced Interface] Frees the memory allocated when libnet_adv_cull_packet() is called.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    packet a pointer to the packet to free

  int libnet_adv_write_link (libnet_t * l, u_int8_t * packet, u_int32_t packet_s)

[Advanced Interface] Writes a packet the network at the link layer. This function is useful to write a packet that has been constructed by hand by the application programmer or, more commonly, to write a packet that has been returned by a call to libnet_adv_cull_packet(). This function is part of the advanced interface and is only available when libnet is initialized in advanced mode. If the function fails libnet_geterror() can tell you why.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    packet a pointer to the packet to inject
    packet_s the size of the packet

Returns:
    the number of bytes written, or -1 on failure

  libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_arp (u_int16_t op, u_int8_t * sha, u_int8_t * spa, u_int8_t * tha, u_int8_t * tpa, libnet_t * l)

Autouilds an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) header. Depending on the op value, the function builds one of several different types of RFC 826 or RFC 903 RARP packets.

Parameters:
    op ARP operation type
    sha sender's hardware address
    spa sender's protocol address
    tha target hardware address
    tpa targer protocol address
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    protocol tag value on success, -1 on error

  libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ethernet (u_int8_t * dst, u_int16_t type, libnet_t * l)

Autobuilds an Ethernet header. The RFC 894 Ethernet II header is almost identical to the IEEE 802.3 header, with the exception that the field immediately following the source address holds the layer 3 protocol (as opposed to frame's length). You should only use this function when libnet is initialized with the LIBNET_LINK interface.

Parameters:
    dst destination ethernet address
    type upper layer protocol type
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    protocol tag value on success, -1 on error

  libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_fddi (u_int8_t fc, u_int8_t * dst, u_int8_t dsap, u_int8_t ssap, u_int8_t cf, u_int8_t * org, u_int16_t type, libnet_t * l)

Autobuilds a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) header.

Parameters:
    fc class format and priority dst destination fddi address
    dsap destination service access point
    ssap source service access point
    cf cf
    org IEEE organizational code
    type upper layer protocol
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    protocol tag value on success, -1 on error

  libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv4 (u_int16_t len, u_int8_t prot, u_int32_t dst, libnet_t * l)

Autobuilds a version 4 Internet Protocol (IP) header. The function is useful * to build an IP header quickly when you do not need a granular level of control. The function takes the same len, prot, and dst arguments as libnet_build_ipv4(). The function does not accept a ptag argument, but it does return a ptag. In other words, you can use it to build a new IP header but not to modify an existing one.

Parameters:
    len total length of the IP packet including all subsequent data
    prot upper layer protocol
    dst destination IPv4 address (little endian)
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    protocol tag value on success, -1 on error

  libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv6 (u_int16_t len, u_int8_t nh, struct libnet_in6_addr dst, libnet_t * l)

This function is not yet implement and is a NONOP.

Parameters:
    len length
    nh next header
    dst destination IPv6 address
    payload optional payload or NULL
    payload_s payload length or 0
    l pointer to a libnet context
    ptag protocol tag to modify an existing header, 0 to build a new one

Returns:
    protocol tag value on success, -1 on error

  libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_link (u_int8_t * dst, u_int8_t * oui, u_int16_t type, libnet_t * l)

Automatically builds a link layer header for an initialized l. The function determines the proper link layer header format from how l was initialized. The function current supports Ethernet and Token Ring link layers.

Parameters:
    dst the destination MAC address
    oui Organizationally Unique Identifier (unused for Ethernet)
    type the upper layer protocol type
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    protocol tag value on success, -1 on error

  libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_token_ring (u_int8_t ac, u_int8_t fc, u_int8_t * dst, u_int8_t dsap, u_int8_t ssap, u_int8_t cf, u_int8_t * org, u_int16_t type, libnet_t * l)

Auto-builds a token ring header.

Parameters:
    ac access control
    fc frame control
    dst destination address
    dsap destination service access point
    ssap source service access point

  libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_802_1q (u_int8_t * dst, u_int8_t * src, u_int16_t tpi, u_int8_t priority, u_int8_t cfi, u_int16_t vlan_id, u_int16_t len_proto, u_int8_t * payload, u_int32_t payload_s, libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)

Builds an IEEE 802.1q VLAN tagging header. Depending on the value of len_proto, the function wraps the 802.1q header inside either an IEEE 802.3 header or an RFC 894 Ethernet II (DIX) header (both resulting in an 18-byte frame). If len is 1500 or less, most receiving protocol stacks parse the frame as an IEEE 802.3 encapsulated frame. If len is one of the Ethernet type values, most protocol stacks parse the frame as an RFC 894 Ethernet II encapsulated frame. Note the length value is calculated without the 802.1q header of 18 bytes.

Parameters:
    dst pointer to a six byte source ethernet address
    src pointer to a six byte destination ethernet address
    tpi tag protocol identifier
    priority priority

Builds an RFC 1771 Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) header. The primary function of a BGP speaking system is to exchange network reachability information with other BGP systems. This network reachability information includes information on the list of Autonomous Systems (ASs) that reachability information traverses. This information is sufficient to construct a graph of AS connectivity from which routing loops may be pruned and some policy decisions at the AS level may be enforced. This function builds the base BGP header which is used as a preamble before any other BGP header. For example, a BGP KEEPALIVE message may be built with only this function, while an error notification requires a subsequent call to libnet_build_bgp4_notification.

Parameters:
    marker a value the receiver can predict (if the message type is not BGP OPEN, or no authentication is used, these 16 bytes are normally set as all ones)
    len total length of the BGP message, including the header

Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE - RFC 1701) is used to encapsulate any protocol. Hence, the IP part of the packet is usually referred as 'delivery header'. It is then followed by the GRE header and finally the encapsulated packet (IP or whatever). As GRE is very modular, the first GRE header describes the structure of the header, using bits and flag to specify which fields will be present in the header.

Parameters:
    fv the 16 0 to 7: which fields are included in the header (checksum, seq. number, key, ...), bits 8 to 12: flag, bits 13 to 15: version.
    payload optional payload or NULL
    type which protocol is encapsulated (PPP, IP, ...)
    sum checksum (0 for libnet to autofill).
    offset byte offset from the start of the routing field to the first byte of the SRE
    key inserted by the encapsulator to authenticate the source
    seq sequence number used by the receiver to sort the packets
    len size of the GRE packet
    payload_s payload length or 0
    l pointer to a libnet context

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context

  int libnet_cq_add (libnet_t * l, char * label)

[Context Queue] Adds a new context to the libnet context queue. If no queue exists, this function will create the queue and add the specified libnet context as the first entry on the list. The functions checks to ensure niether l nor label are NULL, and that label doesn't refer to an existing context already in the queue. Additionally, l should refer to a libnet context previously initialized with a call to libnet_init(). If the context queue in write locked, this function will fail.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    label a canonical name given to recognize the new context, no longer than LIBNET_LABEL_SIZE

Returns:
    1 on success, -1 on failure

  void libnet_cq_destroy ()

Parameters:
    label canonical label of the libnet context to retrieve

Returns:
    the expected libnet context, NULL on failure

  int8_t* libnet_cq_getlabel (libnet_t * l)

[Context Queue] Returns the canonical label associated with the context.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    pointer to the libnet context's label

  libnet_t* libnet_cq_head ()

[Context Queue] Intiailizes the interator interface and set a write lock on the entire queue. This function is intended to be called just prior to interating through the entire list of contexts (with the probable intent of inject a series of packets in rapid succession). This function is often used as per the following:

for (l = libnet_cq_head(); libnet_cq_last(); l = libnet_cq_next()) { ... }

Much of the time, the application programmer will use the iterator as it is written above; as such, libnet provides a macro to do exactly that, for_each_context_in_cq(l). Warning: do not call the iterator more than once in a single loop.

Returns:
    the head of the context queue

  int libnet_cq_last ()

[Context Queue] Check whether the iterator is at the last context in the queue.

Returns:
    1 if at the end of the context queue, 0 otherwise

  libnet_t* libnet_cq_next ()

[Context Queue] Get next context from the context queue. the next context from the context queue

  libnet_t* libnet_cq_remove (libnet_t * l)

[Context Queue] Removes a specified context from the libnet context queue by specifying the libnet context pointer. Note the function will remove the specified context from the context queue and cleanup internal memory from the queue, it is up to the application programmer to free the returned libnet context with a call to libnet_destroy(). Also, as it is not necessary to keep the libnet context pointer when initially adding it to the context queue, most application programmers will prefer to refer to entries on the context queue by canonical name and would use libnet_cq_remove_by_label(). If the context queue is write locked, this function will fail.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    the pointer to the removed libnet context, NULL on failure

  libnet_t* libnet_cq_remove_by_label (char * label)

[Context Queue] Removes a specified context from the libnet context queue by specifying the canonical name. Note the function will remove the specified context from the context queue and cleanup internal memory from the queue, it is up to the application programmer to free the returned libnet context with a call to libnet_destroy(). If the context queue is write locked, this function will fail.

Parameters:
    label canonical name of the context to remove

Returns:
    the pointer to the removed libnet context, NULL on failure

  u_int32_t libnet_cq_size ()

[Context Queue] Function returns the number of libnet contexts that are in the queue.

Returns:

  libnet_t* libnet_init (int injection_type, char * device, char * err_buf)

Creates the libnet environment. It initializes the library and returns a libnet context. If the injection_type is LIBNET_LINK or LIBNET_LINK_ADV, the function initializes the injection primitives for the link-layer interface enabling the application programmer to build packets starting at the data-link layer (which also provides more granular control over the IP layer). If libnet uses the link-layer and the device argument is non-NULL, the function attempts to use the specified network device for packet injection. This is either a canonical string that references the device (such as 'eth0' for a 100MB Ethernet card on Linux or 'fxp0' for a 100MB Ethernet card on OpenBSD) or the dots and decimals representation of the device's IP address (192.168.0.1). If device is NULL, libnet attempts to find a suitable device to use. If the injection_type is LIBNET_RAW4 or LIBNET_RAW4_ADV, the function initializes the injection primitives for the IPv4 raw socket interface. The final argument, err_buf, should be a buffer of size LIBNET_ERRBUF_SIZE and holds an error message if the function fails. This function requires root privileges to execute successfully. Upon success, the function returns a valid libnet context for use in later function calls; upon failure, the function returns NULL.

Parameters:
    injection_type packet injection type (LIBNET_LINK, LIBNET_LINK_ADV, LIBNET_RAW4, LIBNET_RAW4_ADV, LIBNET_RAW6, LIBNET_RAW6_ADV)
    device the interface to use (NULL and libnet will choose one)
    err_buf will contain an error message on failure

Returns:
    libnet context ready for use or NULL on error.

  u_int32_t libnet_name2addr4 (libnet_t * l, char * host_name, u_int8_t use_name)

Takes a dotted decimal string or a canonical DNS name and returns a network byte ordered IPv4 address. This may incur a DNS lookup if mode is set to LIBNET_RESOLVE and host_name refers to a canonical DNS name. If mode is set to LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE no DNS lookup will occur. The function can fail if DNS lookup fails or if mode is set to LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE and host_name refers to a canonical DNS name.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    host_name pointer to a string containing a presentation format host name
    use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE

Returns:
    network byte ordered IPv4 address or -1 (2^32 - 1) on error

  struct libnet_in6_addr libnet_name2addr6 (libnet_t * l, char * host_name, u_int8_t use_name)

Takes a dotted decimal string or a canonical DNS name and returns a network byte ordered IPv6 address. This may incur a DNS lookup if mode is set to LIBNET_RESOLVE and host_name refers to a canonical DNS name. If mode is set to LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE no DNS lookup will occur. The function can fail if DNS lookup fails or if mode is set to LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE and host_name refers to a canonical DNS name.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    host_name pointer to a string containing a presentation format host name
    use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE

Returns:
    network byte ordered IPv6 address structure

  int libnet_plist_chain_dump (libnet_plist_t * plist)

Runs through the port list and prints the contents of the port list chain list to stdout.

Parameters:
    plist previously created portlist

Returns:
    1 on success, -1 on failure

  char* libnet_plist_chain_dump_string (libnet_plist_t * plist)

Runs through the port list and prints the contents of the port list chain list to string. This function uses strdup and is not re-entrant. It also has a memory leak and should not really be used.

Parameters:
    plist previously created portlist

Returns:
    a printable string containing the port list contents on success NULL on error

  int libnet_plist_chain_free (libnet_plist_t * plist)

Frees all memory associated with port list chain.

Parameters:
    plist previously created portlist

Returns:
    1 on success, -1 on failure

  int libnet_plist_chain_new (libnet_t * l, libnet_plist_t ** plist, char * token_list)

Creates a new port list. Port list chains are useful for TCP and UDP-based applications that need to send packets to a range of ports (contiguous or otherwise). The port list chain, which token_list points to, should contain a series of int8_tacters from the following list: '0123456789,-' of the general format 'x - y, z', where 'xyz' are port numbers between 0 and 65,535. plist points to the front of the port list chain list for use in further libnet_plist_chain() functions. Upon success, the function returns 1. Upon failure, the function returns -1 and libnet_geterror() can tell you why.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    plist if successful, will refer to the portlist, if not, NULL
    token_list string containing the port list primitive

Returns:
    1 on success, -1 on failure

  int libnet_plist_chain_next_pair (libnet_plist_t * plist, u_int16_t * bport, u_int16_t * eport)

Returns the next port list chain pair from the port list chain plist. bport and eport contain the starting port number and ending port number, respectively. Upon success, the function returns 1 and fills in the port variables; however, if the list is empty, the function returns 0 and sets both port variables to 0. Upon failure, the function returns -1.

Parameters:
    plist previously created portlist
    bport will contain the beginning port number or 0
    eport will contain the ending port number or 0

Returns:
    1 on success, 0 if empty, -1 on failure

  int libnet_seed_prand (libnet_t * l)

Seeds the psuedo-random number generator.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    1 on success, -1 on failure

  void libnet_stats (libnet_t * l, struct libnet_stats * ls)

Fills in a libnet_stats structure with packet injection statistics (packets written, bytes written, packet sending errors).

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    ls pointer to a libnet statistics structure

  int libnet_toggle_checksum (libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag, int mode)

If a given protocol header is built with the checksum field set to '0', by default libnet will calculate the header checksum prior to injection. If the header is set to any other value, by default libnet will not calculate the header checksum. To over-ride this behavior, use libnet_toggle_checksum(). Switches auto-checksumming on or off for the specified ptag. If mode is set to LIBNET_ON, libnet will mark the specificed ptag to calculate a checksum for the ptag prior to injection. This assumes that the ptag refers to a protocol that has a checksum field. If mode is set to LIBNET_OFF, libnet will clear the checksum flag and no checksum will be computed prior to injection. This assumes that the programmer will assign a value (zero or otherwise) to the checksum field. Often times this is useful if a precomputed checksum or some other predefined value is going to be used. Note that when libnet is initialized with LIBNET_RAW4, the IPv4 header checksum will always be computed by the kernel prior to injection, regardless of what the programmer sets.

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context
    ptag the ptag reference number
    mode LIBNET_ON or LIBNET_OFF

Returns:
    1 on success, -1 on failure

  int libnet_write (libnet_t * l)

Writes a prebuilt packet to the network. The function assumes that l was previously initialized (via a call to libnet_init()) and that a previously constructed packet has been built inside this context (via one or more calls to the libnet_build* family of functions) and is ready to go. Depending on how libnet was initialized, the function will write the packet to the wire either via the raw or link layer interface. The function will also bump up the internal libnet stat counters which are retrievable via libnet_stats().

Parameters:
    l pointer to a libnet context

Returns:
    the number of bytes written, -1 on error
