Variables¶

struct libnet_in6_addr in6addr_error

char* libnet_addr2name4 (uint32_tin, uint8_tuse_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:

Returns:

void libnet_addr2name6_r (struct libnet_in6_addraddr, uint8_tuse_name, char *host_name, inthost_name_len) Should document this baby right here.¶

int libnet_adv_cull_header (libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag, uint8_t **header, uint32_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:

Returns:

int libnet_adv_cull_packet (libnet_t *l, 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:

Returns:

void libnet_adv_free_packet (libnet_t *l, uint8_t *packet) [Advanced Interface] Frees the memory allocated when libnet_adv_cull_packet() is called.¶

Parameters:

int libnet_adv_write_link (libnet_t *l, const uint8_t *packet, uint32_tpacket_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:

Returns:

int libnet_adv_write_raw_ipv4 (libnet_t *l, const uint8_t *packet, uint32_tpacket_s) [Advanced Interface] Writes a packet the network at the raw socket 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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_arp (uint16_top, const uint8_t *sha, const uint8_t *spa, const uint8_t *tha, 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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ethernet (const uint8_t *dst, uint16_ttype, 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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_fddi (uint8_tfc, const uint8_t *dst, uint8_tdsap, uint8_tssap, uint8_tcf, const uint8_t *oui, uint16_ttype, libnet_t *l) Autobuilds a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) header.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv4 (uint16_tlen, uint8_tprot, uint32_tdst, 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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv6 (uint16_tlen, uint8_tnh, struct libnet_in6_addrdst, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) 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.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_link (const uint8_t *dst, const uint8_t *oui, uint16_ttype, 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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_token_ring (uint8_tac, uint8_tfc, const uint8_t *dst, uint8_tdsap, uint8_tssap, uint8_tcf, const uint8_t *oui, uint16_ttype, libnet_t *l) Auto-builds a token ring header.¶

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_802_1q (const uint8_t *dst, const uint8_t *src, uint16_ttpi, uint8_tpriority, uint8_tcfi, uint16_tvlan_id, uint16_tlen_proto, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) .SH 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.

Parameters:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_802_1x (uint8_teap_ver, uint8_teap_type, uint16_tlength, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Builds an IEEE 802.1x extended authentication protocol header.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_802_2snap (uint8_tdsap, uint8_tssap, uint8_tcontrol, uint8_t *oui, uint16_ttype, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Builds an IEEE 802.2 LLC SNAP header.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

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

Parameters:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_arp (uint16_thrd, uint16_tpro, uint8_thln, uint8_tpln, uint16_top, const uint8_t *sha, const uint8_t *spa, const uint8_t *tha, const uint8_t *tpa, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Builds 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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_bgp4_header (uint8_tmarker[LIBNET_BGP4_MARKER_SIZE], uint16_tlen, uint8_ttype, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) 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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_bgp4_notification (uint8_terr_code, uint8_terr_subcode, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Builds an RFC 1771 Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) notification header.

This is the first message sent by each side of a BGP connection. The optional parameters options should be constructed using the payload interface (see RFC 1771 for the options structures).¶

Parameters:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_bgp4_update (uint16_tunfeasible_rt_len, const uint8_t *withdrawn_rt, uint16_ttotal_path_attr_len, const uint8_t *path_attributes, uint16_tinfo_len, uint8_t *reachability_info, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Builds an RFC 1771 Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) update header. Update messages are used to transfer routing information between BGP peers.¶

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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_data (const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Builds a generic libnet protocol header. This is useful for including an optional payload to a packet that might need to change repeatedly inside of a loop. This won't work for TCP or IP payload, they have special types (this is probably a bug).¶

Parameters:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_dhcpv4 (uint8_topcode, uint8_thtype, uint8_thlen, uint8_thopcount, uint32_txid, uint16_tsecs, uint16_tflags, uint32_tcip, uint32_tyip, uint32_tsip, uint32_tgip, const uint8_t *chaddr, const char *sname, const char *file, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Parameters:¶

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:

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_ethernet (const uint8_t *dst, const uint8_t *src, uint16_ttype, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Builds an Ethernet header.

The function expects options to be a valid TCP options string of size options_s, which is no larger than 40 bytes (the maximum size of an options string). The function checks to ensure that the packet consists of a TCP header preceded by an IPv4 header, and that the addition of the options string would not result in a packet larger than 65,535 bytes (IPMAXPACKET). The function counts up the number of 32-bit words in the options string and adjusts the TCP header length value as necessary.¶

Returns:

libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_vrrp (uint8_tversion, uint8_ttype, uint8_tvrouter_id, uint8_tpriority, uint8_tip_count, uint8_tauth_type, uint8_tadvert_int, uint16_tsum, const uint8_t *payload, uint32_tpayload_s, libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Builds an RFC 2338 Virtual Router Redundacy Protool (VRRP) header. Use the payload interface to specify address and autthentication information. To build a 'legal' packet, the destination IPv4 address should be the multicast * address 224.0.0.18, the IP TTL should be set to 255, and the IP protocol should be set to 112.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

void libnet_clear_packet (libnet_t *l) Clears the current packet referenced and frees all pblocks. Should be called when the programmer want to send a completely new packet of a different type using the same context.¶

Parameters:

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:

Returns:

void libnet_cq_destroy (void) [Context Queue] Destroys the entire context queue, calling libnet_destroy() on each member context.¶

uint32_t libnet_cq_end_loop (void) [Context Queue]¶

libnet_t* libnet_cq_find_by_label (char *label) [Context Queue] Locates a libnet context from the queue, indexed by a canonical label.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

const char* libnet_cq_getlabel (libnet_t *l) [Context Queue] Returns the canonical label associated with the context.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

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:

int libnet_cq_last (void) [Context Queue] Check whether the iterator is at the last context in the queue.¶

Returns:

libnet_t* libnet_cq_next (void) [Context Queue] Get next context from the context queue.¶

Returns:

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:

Returns:

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:

Returns:

uint32_t libnet_cq_size (void) [Context Queue] Function returns the number of libnet contexts that are in the queue.¶

Returns:

void libnet_destroy (libnet_t *l) Shuts down the libnet session referenced by l. It closes the network interface and frees all internal memory structures associated with l.¶

Parameters:

void libnet_diag_dump_context (libnet_t *l) [Diagnostic] Prints the contents of the given context.¶

Parameters:

void libnet_diag_dump_hex (const uint8_t *packet, uint32_tlen, intswap, FILE *stream) [Diagnostic] Function prints the contents of the supplied buffer to the supplied stream pointer. Will swap endianness based disposition of mode variable. Useful to be used in conjunction with the advanced interface and a culled packet.¶

Parameters:

void libnet_diag_dump_pblock (libnet_t *l) [Diagnostic] Prints the contents of every pblock.¶

Parameters:

char* libnet_diag_dump_pblock_type (uint8_ttype) [Diagnostic] Returns the canonical name of the pblock type.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

struct libnet_ether_addr* libnet_get_hwaddr (libnet_t *l) [read] Returns the MAC address for the device libnet was initialized with. If libnet was initialized without a device the function will attempt to find one. If the function fails and returns NULL a call to libnet_geterror() will tell you why.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

uint32_t libnet_get_ipaddr4 (libnet_t *l) Returns the IP address for the device libnet was initialized with. If libnet was initialized without a device (in raw socket mode) the function will attempt to find one. If the function fails and returns -1 a call to libnet_geterrror() will tell you why.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

struct libnet_in6_addr libnet_get_ipaddr6 (libnet_t *l) [read] Returns the IPv6 address for the device libnet was initialized with. If libnet was initialized without a device (in raw socket mode) the function will attempt to find one. If the function fails and returns in6addr_error, a call to libnet_geterrror() will tell you why. This function is not yet implemented for Win32 platforms.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

uint32_t libnet_get_prand (intmod) Generates an unsigned psuedo-random value within the range specified by mod. LIBNET_PR2 0 - 1 LIBNET_PR8 0 - 255 LIBNET_PR16 0 - 32767 LIBNET_PRu16 0 - 65535 LIBNET_PR32 0 - 2147483647 LIBNET_PRu32 0 - 4294967295¶

Parameters:

Returns:

const char* libnet_getdevice (libnet_t *l) Returns the canonical name of the device used for packet injection.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

char* libnet_geterror (libnet_t *l) Returns the last error set inside of the referenced libnet context. This function should be called anytime a function fails or an error condition is detected inside of libnet.¶

Parameters:

Parameters:

Returns:

uint32_t libnet_getgre_length (uint16_tfv) Parameters:¶

Returns:

uint32_t libnet_getpacket_size (libnet_t *l) Returns the sum of the size of all of the pblocks inside of l (this should be the resuling packet size).¶

Parameters:

Returns:

uint8_t* libnet_getpbuf (libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Returns the pblock buffer contents for the specified ptag; a subsequent call to libnet_getpbuf_size() should be made to determine the size of the buffer.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

uint32_t libnet_getpbuf_size (libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag) Returns the pblock buffer size for the specified ptag; a previous call to libnet_getpbuf() should be made to pull the actual buffer contents.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

uint8_t* libnet_hex_aton (const char *s, int *len) Takes a colon separated hexidecimal address (from the command line) and returns a bytestring suitable for use in a libnet_build function. Note this function performs an implicit malloc and the return value should be freed after its use.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

int libnet_in6_is_error (struct libnet_in6_addraddr) Check a libnet_in6_addr structure for identity with in6addr_error.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

libnet_t* libnet_init (intinjection_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:

Returns:

uint32_t libnet_name2addr4 (libnet_t *l, char *host_name, uint8_tuse_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:

Returns:

struct libnet_in6_addr libnet_name2addr6 (libnet_t *l, const char *host_name, uint8_tuse_name) [read] 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:

Returns:

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:

Returns:

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:

Returns:

int libnet_plist_chain_free (libnet_plist_t *plist) Frees all memory associated with port list chain.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

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:

Returns:

int libnet_plist_chain_next_pair (libnet_plist_t *plist, uint16_t *bport, uint16_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:

Returns:

int libnet_seed_prand (libnet_t *l) Seeds the psuedo-random number generator.¶

Parameters:

Returns:

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:

int libnet_toggle_checksum (libnet_t *l, libnet_ptag_tptag, intmode) 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:

Returns:

const char* libnet_version (void) Returns the version of libnet.¶

Returns:

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:

Returns:
