Function Documentation

◆ libnet_addr2name4()

LIBNET_API char * libnet_addr2name4 ( uint32_t  in,
uint8_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
innetwork byte ordered IPv4 address
use_nameLIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE
Returns
a pointer to presentation format string

◆ libnet_addr2name6_r()

LIBNET_API void libnet_addr2name6_r ( struct libnet_in6_addr  addr,
uint8_t  use_name,
char *  host_name,
int  host_name_len 
)

Should document this baby right here.

uint8_t **  packet,
uint32_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

const uint8_t *  spa,
const uint8_t *  tha,
const uint8_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
opARP operation type
shasender's hardware address
spasender's protocol address
thatarget hardware address
tpatarget protocol address

LIBNET_API libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ethernet ( const uint8_t *  dst,
uint16_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
dstdestination ethernet address
typeupper layer protocol type
lpointer to a libnet context
Returns
protocol tag value on success
Return values
-1on error

LIBNET_API libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv4 ( uint16_t  len,
uint8_t  prot,
uint32_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
lentotal length of the IP packet including all subsequent data
protupper layer protocol
dstdestination IPv4 address (little endian)
lpointer to a libnet context
Returns
protocol tag value on success
Return values

struct libnet_in6_addr  dst,
libnet_t *  l,
libnet_ptag_t  ptag 
)

Autobuilds a version 6 RFC 2460 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, nh, 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. This function requires libnet_get_ipaddr6(), which is not yet implemented for Win32 platforms.

Packet Builder Functions

The core of libnet is the platform-independent packet-building functionality. These functions enable an application programmer to build protocol headers (and data) in a simple and consistent manner without having to worry (too much) about low-level network odds and ends. Each libnet_build() function builds a piece of a packet (generally a protocol header). While it is perfectly possible to build an entire, ready-to-transmit packet with a single call to a libnet_build() function, generally more than one builder-class function call is required to construct a full packet. A complete wire-ready packet generally consists of more than one piece. Every function that builds a protocol header takes a series of arguments roughly corresponding to the header values as they appear on the wire. This process is intuitive but often makes for functions with huge prototypes and large stack frames. One important thing to note is that you must call these functions in order, corresponding to how they should appear on the wire (from the highest protocol layer on down). This building process is intuitive; it approximates what happens in an operating system kernel. In other words, to build a Network Time Protocol (NTP) packet by using the link-layer interface, the application programmer would call the libnet_build() functions in the following order:

  1. libnet_build_ntp()
  2. libnet_build_udp()
  3. libnet_build_ipv4()
  4. libnet_build_ethernet() This ordering is essential for libnet 1.1.x to properly link together the packet internally (previous libnet versions did not have the requirement).

The Payload Interface

The payload interface specifies an optional way to include data directly after the protocol header in question. You can use this function for a variety of purposes, including the following:

  • Including additional or arbitrary protocol header information that is not available from a libnet interface
  • Including a packet payload (data segment)
  • Building another protocol header that is not available from a libnet interface To employ the interface, the application programmer should construct the i payload data and pass a const uint8_t * to this data and its size to the desired libnet_build() function. Libnet handles the rest.

It is important to note that some functions (notably the IPv6 builders) do use the payload interface to specify variable length but ostensibly non-optional data. See the individual libnet_build_ipv6*() functions for more information.

Protocol Tags and Packet Builder Return Values

Libnet uses the protocol tag (ptag) to identify individual pieces of a packet after being created. A new ptag results every time a libnet_build() function with an empty (0) ptag argument completes successfully. This new ptag now refers to the packet piece just created. The application programmer's responsibility is to save this value if he or she plans to modify this particular portion later on in the program. If the application programmer needs to modify some portion of that particular packet piece again, he or she calls the same libnet_build() function specifying the saved ptag argument. Libnet then searches for that packet piece and modifies it rather than creating a new one. Upon failure for any reason, libnet_build() functions return -1; libnet_geterror() tells you why. 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.

dstpointer to a six byte source ethernet address

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
markera 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)
lentotal length of the BGP message, including the header

uint16_t  type,
uint16_t  value_s,
const uint8_t *  value,
const uint8_t *  payload,
uint32_t  payload_s,
libnet_t *  l,
libnet_ptag_t  ptag 
)

Builds a Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) header. Cisco Systems designed CDP to aid in the network management of adjacent Cisco devices. The CDP protocol specifies data by using a type/length/value (TLV) setup. The first TLV can specified by using the functions type, length, and value arguments. To specify additional TLVs, the programmer could either use the payload interface or libnet_build_data() to construct them.

Parameters
versionCDP version
ttltime to live (time information should be cached by recipient)
sumchecksum (0 for libnet to auto-fill)
typetype of data contained in value
value_slength of value argument
valuethe CDP information string
payloadoptional payload or NULL

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
fvthe 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.
typewhich protocol is encapsulated (PPP, IP, ...)
sumchecksum (0 for libnet to auto-fill).
offsetbyte offset from the start of the routing field to the first byte of the SRE
keyinserted by the encapsulator to authenticate the source
seqsequence number used by the receiver to sort the packets
lensize of the GRE packet

)

Builds an version 4 Internet Protocol (IP) options header. The function expects options to be a valid IP options string of size options_s, no larger than 40 bytes (the maximum size of an options string).

When building a chain, the options must be built, then the IPv4 header.

When updating a chain, if the block following the options is an IPv4 header, it's total length and header length will be updated if the options block size changes.

Parameters
optionsbyte string of IP options (it will be padded up to be an integral multiple of 32-bit words).

◆ libnet_cq_add()

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
lpointer to a libnet context
labela canonical name given to recognize the new context, no longer than LIBNET_LABEL_SIZE
Return values
1on success
-1on failure

◆ libnet_cq_destroy()

◆ libnet_cq_head()

LIBNET_API libnet_t * libnet_cq_head ( void  )

[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

◆ libnet_cq_last()

LIBNET_API int libnet_cq_last ( void  )

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

Returns
the next context from the context queue

◆ libnet_cq_remove()

LIBNET_API 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
lpointer to a libnet context
Returns
the pointer to the removed libnet context
Return values
NULLon failure

◆ libnet_cq_remove_by_label()

LIBNET_API 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
labelcanonical name of the context to remove
Returns
the pointer to the removed libnet context
Return values
NULLon failure

◆ libnet_init()

LIBNET_API libnet_t * libnet_init ( int  injection_type,
const 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_typepacket injection type (LIBNET_LINK, LIBNET_LINK_ADV, LIBNET_RAW4, LIBNET_RAW4_ADV, LIBNET_RAW6, LIBNET_RAW6_ADV)
devicethe interface to use (NULL and libnet will choose one)

◆ libnet_plist_chain_new()

LIBNET_API 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
    lpointer to a libnet context
    plistif successful, will refer to the portlist, if not, NULL

)

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
plistpreviously created portlist
bportwill contain the beginning port number or 0
eportwill contain the ending port number or 0
Return values
1on success

◆ libnet_stats()

LIBNET_API void libnet_stats ( libnet_t *  l,

Parameters
lpointer to a libnet context
lspointer to a libnet statistics structure

◆ libnet_toggle_checksum()

LIBNET_API 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 specified 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
lpointer to a libnet context
ptagthe ptag reference number
modeLIBNET_ON or LIBNET_OFF
Return values
1on success
-1on failure

◆ libnet_version()

LIBNET_API const char * libnet_version ( void  )

Returns the version of libnet.

Returns
the libnet version

◆ libnet_write()

LIBNET_API 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
lpointer to a libnet context
Returns
the number of bytes written
Return values
-1on error
