353 LIBNET_API char * libnet_addr2name4 (uint32_t in, uint8_t use_name)
354 Takes a network byte ordered IPv4 address and returns a pointer to
355 either a canonical DNS name (if it has one) or a string of dotted
356 decimals. This may incur a DNS lookup if the hostname and mode is set
357 to LIBNET_RESOLVE. If mode is set to LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE, no DNS lookup
358 will be performed and the function will return a pointer to a dotted
359 decimal string. The function cannot fail -- if no canonical name
360 exists, it will fall back on returning a dotted decimal string. This
361 function is non-reentrant.
362 Parameters
364 in network byte ordered IPv4 address
365 use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE
366 Returns
368 a pointer to presentation format string
369 LIBNET_API void libnet_addr2name6_r (struct libnet_in6_addr addr, uint8_t

373 LIBNET_API int libnet_adv_cull_header (libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag,
375 uint8_t ** header, uint32_t * header_s)
376 [Advanced Interface] Pulls the header from the specified ptag from the
377 given libnet context. This function is part of the advanced interface
378 and is only available when libnet is initialized in advanced mode. If
379 the function fails libnet_geterror() can tell you why.
380 Parameters
382 l pointer to a libnet context
383 ptag the ptag referencing the header to pull
384 header will contain the header
385 header_s will contain the header size
386 Return values
388 1 on success
389 -1 on failure
390 LIBNET_API int libnet_adv_cull_packet (libnet_t * l, uint8_t ** packet,
393 uint32_t * packet_s)
394 [Advanced Interface] Yanks a prebuilt, wire-ready packet from the given
395 libnet context. If libnet was configured to do so (which it is by
396 default) the packet will have all checksums written in. This function
397 is part of the advanced interface and is only available when libnet is
398 initialized in advanced mode. It is important to note that the function
399 performs an implicit malloc() and a corresponding call to
400 libnet_adv_free_packet() should be made to free the memory packet
401 occupies. If the function fails libnet_geterror() can tell you why.
402 Parameters
404 l pointer to a libnet context
405 packet will contain the wire-ready packet
406 packet_s will contain the packet size
407 Return values
409 1 on success

415 libnet_adv_cull_packet() is called.
416 Parameters
418 l pointer to a libnet context
419 packet a pointer to the packet to free
420 LIBNET_API int libnet_adv_write_link (libnet_t * l, const uint8_t * packet,
422 uint32_t packet_s)
423 [Advanced Interface] Writes a packet the network at the link layer.
424 This function is useful to write a packet that has been constructed by
425 hand by the application programmer or, more commonly, to write a packet
426 that has been returned by a call to libnet_adv_cull_packet(). This
427 function is part of the advanced interface and is only available when
428 libnet is initialized in advanced mode. If the function fails
429 libnet_geterror() can tell you why.
430 Parameters
432 l pointer to a libnet context
433 packet a pointer to the packet to inject
434 packet_s the size of the packet
435 Returns
437 the number of bytes written
438 Return values

441 LIBNET_API int libnet_adv_write_raw_ipv4 (libnet_t * l, const uint8_t *
443 packet, uint32_t packet_s)
444 [Advanced Interface] Writes a packet the network at the raw socket
445 layer. This function is useful to write a packet that has been
446 constructed by hand by the application programmer or, more commonly, to
447 write a packet that has been returned by a call to
448 libnet_adv_cull_packet(). This function is part of the advanced
449 interface and is only available when libnet is initialized in advanced
450 mode. If the function fails libnet_geterror() can tell you why.

464 sha, const uint8_t * spa, const uint8_t * tha, const uint8_t * tpa,
465 libnet_t * l)
466 Autouilds an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) header. Depending on the
467 op value, the function builds one of several different types of RFC 826
468 or RFC 903 RARP packets.
469 Parameters
471 op ARP operation type
472 sha sender's hardware address
473 spa sender's protocol address
474 tha target hardware address
475 tpa target protocol address

483 LIBNET_API libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ethernet (const uint8_t * dst,
485 uint16_t type, libnet_t * l)
486 Autobuilds an Ethernet header. The RFC 894 Ethernet II header is almost
487 identical to the IEEE 802.3 header, with the exception that the field
488 immediately following the source address holds the layer 3 protocol (as
489 opposed to frame's length). You should only use this function when
490 libnet is initialized with the LIBNET_LINK interface.
491 Parameters
493 dst destination ethernet address
494 type upper layer protocol type
495 l pointer to a libnet context
496 Returns
498 protocol tag value on success
499 Return values

505 uint16_t type, libnet_t * l)
506 Autobuilds a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) header.
507 Parameters

523 LIBNET_API libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv4 (uint16_t len, uint8_t prot,
525 uint32_t dst, libnet_t * l)
526 Autobuilds a version 4 Internet Protocol (IP) header. The function is
527 useful to build an IP header quickly when you do not need a granular
528 level of control. The function takes the same len, prot, and dst
529 arguments as libnet_build_ipv4(). The function does not accept a ptag
530 argument, but it does return a ptag. In other words, you can use it to
531 build a new IP header but not to modify an existing one.
532 Parameters
534 len total length of the IP packet including all subsequent data
535 prot upper layer protocol
536 dst destination IPv4 address (little endian)
537 l pointer to a libnet context
538 Returns
540 protocol tag value on success
541 Return values
543 -1 on error
544 LIBNET_API libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv6 (uint16_t len, uint8_t nh,
546 struct libnet_in6_addr dst, libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)
547 Autobuilds a version 6 RFC 2460 Internet Protocol (IP) header. The
548 function is useful to build an IP header quickly when you do not need a
549 granular level of control. The function takes the same len, nh, and dst
550 arguments as libnet_build_ipv4(). The function does not accept a ptag
551 argument, but it does return a ptag. In other words, you can use it to
552 build a new IP header but not to modify an existing one. This function
553 requires libnet_get_ipaddr6(), which is not yet implemented for Win32
554 platforms.
555 Parameters
557 len length
558 nh next header
559 dst destination IPv6 address
560 l pointer to a libnet context
561 ptag protocol tag to modify an existing header, 0 to build a new

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

610 LIBNET_API libnet_ptag_t libnet_build_802_1q (const uint8_t * dst, const
612 uint8_t * src, uint16_t tpi, uint8_t priority, uint8_t cfi, uint16_t
613 vlan_id, uint16_t len_proto, const uint8_t * payload, uint32_t
614 payload_s, libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)
616 The core of libnet is the platform-independent packet-building
617 functionality. These functions enable an application programmer to
618 build protocol headers (and data) in a simple and consistent manner
619 without having to worry (too much) about low-level network odds and
620 ends. Each libnet_build() function builds a piece of a packet
621 (generally a protocol header). While it is perfectly possible to build
622 an entire, ready-to-transmit packet with a single call to a
623 libnet_build() function, generally more than one builder-class function
624 call is required to construct a full packet. A complete wire-ready
625 packet generally consists of more than one piece. Every function that
626 builds a protocol header takes a series of arguments roughly
627 corresponding to the header values as they appear on the wire. This
628 process is intuitive but often makes for functions with huge prototypes
629 and large stack frames. One important thing to note is that you must
630 call these functions in order, corresponding to how they should appear
631 on the wire (from the highest protocol layer on down). This building
632 process is intuitive; it approximates what happens in an operating
633 system kernel. In other words, to build a Network Time Protocol (NTP)
634 packet by using the link-layer interface, the application programmer
635 would call the libnet_build() functions in the following order:
636 1. libnet_build_ntp()
638 2. libnet_build_udp()
640 3. libnet_build_ipv4()
642 4. libnet_build_ethernet() This ordering is essential for libnet 1.1.x
644 to properly link together the packet internally (previous libnet
645 versions did not have the requirement).
646 The Payload Interface
648 The payload interface specifies an optional way to include data
649 directly after the protocol header in question. You can use this
650 function for a variety of purposes, including the following:
651 • Including additional or arbitrary protocol header information that is
653 not available from a libnet interface
654 • Including a packet payload (data segment)
656 • Building another protocol header that is not available from a libnet
658 interface To employ the interface, the application programmer should
659 construct the i payload data and pass a const uint8_t * to this data
660 and its size to the desired libnet_build() function. Libnet handles
661 the rest.
662 It is important to note that some functions (notably the IPv6 builders)
664 do use the payload interface to specify variable length but ostensibly
665 non-optional data. See the individual libnet_build_ipv6*() functions
666 for more information.
667 Protocol Tags and Packet Builder Return Values
669 Libnet uses the protocol tag (ptag) to identify individual pieces of a
670 packet after being created. A new ptag results every time a
671 libnet_build() function with an empty (0) ptag argument completes
672 successfully. This new ptag now refers to the packet piece just
673 created. The application programmer's responsibility is to save this
674 value if he or she plans to modify this particular portion later on in
675 the program. If the application programmer needs to modify some portion
676 of that particular packet piece again, he or she calls the same
677 libnet_build() function specifying the saved ptag argument. Libnet then
678 searches for that packet piece and modifies it rather than creating a
679 new one. Upon failure for any reason, libnet_build() functions return
680 -1; libnet_geterror() tells you why. Builds an IEEE 802.1q VLAN tagging
681 header. Depending on the value of len_proto, the function wraps the
682 802.1q header inside either an IEEE 802.3 header or an RFC 894 Ethernet
683 II (DIX) header (both resulting in an 18-byte frame). If len is 1500 or
684 less, most receiving protocol stacks parse the frame as an IEEE 802.3
685 encapsulated frame. If len is one of the Ethernet type values, most
686 protocol stacks parse the frame as an RFC 894 Ethernet II encapsulated
687 frame. Note the length value is calculated without the 802.1q header of
688 18 bytes.

832 uint8_t * payload, uint32_t payload_s, libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t
833 ptag)
834 Builds an RFC 1771 Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) header. The
835 primary function of a BGP speaking system is to exchange network
836 reachability information with other BGP systems. This network
837 reachability information includes information on the list of Autonomous
838 Systems (ASs) that reachability information traverses. This information
839 is sufficient to construct a graph of AS connectivity from which
840 routing loops may be pruned and some policy decisions at the AS level
841 may be enforced. This function builds the base BGP header which is used
842 as a preamble before any other BGP header. For example, a BGP KEEPALIVE
843 message may be built with only this function, while an error
844 notification requires a subsequent call to
845 libnet_build_bgp4_notification.
846 Parameters
848 marker a value the receiver can predict (if the message type is not
849 BGP OPEN, or no authentication is used, these 16 bytes are normally
850 set as all ones)
851 len total length of the BGP message, including the header
852 type type code of the message (OPEN, UPDATE, NOTIFICATION or
853 KEEPALIVE)

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

1099 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE - RFC 1701) is used to encapsulate
1100 any protocol. Hence, the IP part of the packet is usually referred as
1101 'delivery header'. It is then followed by the GRE header and finally
1102 the encapsulated packet (IP or whatever). As GRE is very modular, the
1103 first GRE header describes the structure of the header, using bits and
1104 flag to specify which fields will be present in the header.
1105 Parameters
1107 fv the 16 0 to 7: which fields are included in the header
1108 (checksum, seq. number, key, ...), bits 8 to 12: flag, bits 13 to
1109 15: version.
1110 type which protocol is encapsulated (PPP, IP, ...)
1111 sum checksum (0 for libnet to auto-fill).

2362 options string). The function checks to ensure that the packet consists
2363 of a TCP header preceded by an IPv4 header, and that the addition of
2364 the options string would not result in a packet larger than 65,535
2365 bytes (IPMAXPACKET). The function counts up the number of 32-bit words
2366 in the options string and adjusts the TCP header length value as
2367 necessary.

2465 called when the programmer want to send a completely new packet of a
2466 different type using the same context.
2467 Parameters
2469 l pointer to a libnet context
2470 int libnet_cq_add (libnet_t * l, char * label)
2472 [Context Queue] Adds a new context to the libnet context queue. If no
2473 queue exists, this function will create the queue and add the specified
2474 libnet context as the first entry on the list. The functions checks to
2475 ensure niether l nor label are NULL, and that label doesn't refer to an
2476 existing context already in the queue. Additionally, l should refer to
2477 a libnet context previously initialized with a call to libnet_init().
2478 If the context queue in write locked, this function will fail.
2479 Parameters

2497 [Context Queue] Locates a libnet context from the queue, indexed by a
2498 canonical label.
2499 Parameters
2501 label canonical label of the libnet context to retrieve
2502 Returns
2504 the expected libnet context
2505 Return values
2507 NULL on failure
2508 LIBNET_API const char * libnet_cq_getlabel (libnet_t * l)
2510 [Context Queue] Returns the canonical label associated with the
2511 context.
2512 Parameters
2514 l pointer to a libnet context
2515 Returns
2517 pointer to the libnet context's label
2518 LIBNET_API libnet_t * libnet_cq_head (void)
2520 [Context Queue] Intiailizes the interator interface and set a write
2521 lock on the entire queue. This function is intended to be called just
2522 prior to interating through the entire list of contexts (with the
2523 probable intent of inject a series of packets in rapid succession).
2524 This function is often used as per the following:
2525 for (l = libnet_cq_head(); libnet_cq_last(); l = libnet_cq_next()) {
2527 ... }
2528 Much of the time, the application programmer will use the iterator as
2530 it is written above; as such, libnet provides a macro to do exactly
2531 that, for_each_context_in_cq(l). Warning: do not call the iterator more
2532 than once in a single loop.
2533 Returns
2535 the head of the context queue
2536 LIBNET_API int libnet_cq_last (void)
2538 [Context Queue] Check whether the iterator is at the last context in
2539 the queue.
2540 Return values
2542 1 if at the end of the context queue
2543 0 otherwise
2544 LIBNET_API libnet_t * libnet_cq_next (void)
2546 [Context Queue] Get next context from the context queue.
2547 Returns
2549 the next context from the context queue
2550 LIBNET_API libnet_t * libnet_cq_remove (libnet_t * l)
2552 [Context Queue] Removes a specified context from the libnet context
2553 queue by specifying the libnet context pointer. Note the function will
2554 remove the specified context from the context queue and cleanup
2555 internal memory from the queue, it is up to the application programmer
2556 to free the returned libnet context with a call to libnet_destroy().
2557 Also, as it is not necessary to keep the libnet context pointer when
2558 initially adding it to the context queue, most application programmers
2559 will prefer to refer to entries on the context queue by canonical name
2560 and would use libnet_cq_remove_by_label(). If the context queue is
2561 write locked, this function will fail.
2562 Parameters
2564 l pointer to a libnet context
2565 Returns
2567 the pointer to the removed libnet context
2568 Return values
2570 NULL on failure
2571 LIBNET_API libnet_t * libnet_cq_remove_by_label (char * label)
2573 [Context Queue] Removes a specified context from the libnet context
2574 queue by specifying the canonical name. Note the function will remove
2575 the specified context from the context queue and cleanup internal
2576 memory from the queue, it is up to the application programmer to free
2577 the returned libnet context with a call to libnet_destroy(). If the
2578 context queue is write locked, this function will fail.
2579 Parameters
2581 label canonical name of the context to remove
2582 Returns
2584 the pointer to the removed libnet context
2585 Return values
2587 NULL on failure
2588 LIBNET_API uint32_t libnet_cq_size (void)
2590 [Context Queue] Function returns the number of libnet contexts that are
2591 in the queue.
2592 Returns
2594 the number of libnet contexts currently in the queue
2595 LIBNET_API void libnet_destroy (libnet_t * l)
2597 Shuts down the libnet session referenced by l. It closes the network
2598 interface and frees all internal memory structures associated with l.
2599 Parameters
2602 l pointer to a libnet context
2603 LIBNET_API void libnet_diag_dump_context (libnet_t * l)
2605 [Diagnostic] Prints the contents of the given context.
2606 Parameters
2608 l pointer to a libnet context
2609 void libnet_diag_dump_hex (const uint8_t * packet, uint32_t len, int swap,
2611 FILE * stream)
2612 [Diagnostic] Function prints the contents of the supplied buffer to the
2613 supplied stream pointer. Will swap endianness based disposition of mode
2614 variable. Useful to be used in conjunction with the advanced interface
2615 and a culled packet.
2616 Parameters
2618 packet the packet to print
2619 len length of the packet in bytes
2620 swap 1 to swap byte order, 0 to not. Counter-intuitively, it is
2621 necessary to swap in order to see the byte order as it is on the
2622 wire (this may be a bug).
2623 stream a stream pointer to print to
2624 LIBNET_API void libnet_diag_dump_pblock (libnet_t * l)

2638 a string representing the pblock type type
2639 Return values
2641 unknown for an unknown value
2642 LIBNET_API struct libnet_ether_addr * libnet_get_hwaddr (libnet_t * l)
2644 Returns the MAC address for the device libnet was initialized with. If
2645 libnet was initialized without a device the function will attempt to
2646 find one. If the function fails and returns NULL a call to
2647 libnet_geterror() will tell you why.

2650 l pointer to a libnet context
2651 Returns
2653 a pointer to the MAC address or NULL
2654 LIBNET_API uint32_t libnet_get_ipaddr4 (libnet_t * l)
2656 Returns the IP address for the device libnet was initialized with. If
2657 libnet was initialized without a device (in raw socket mode) the
2658 function will attempt to find one. If the function fails and returns -1
2659 a call to libnet_geterrror() will tell you why.
2660 Parameters
2662 l pointer to a libnet context
2663 Returns
2665 a big endian IP address suitable for use in a libnet_build function
2666 Return values
2668 -1
2669 LIBNET_API struct libnet_in6_addr libnet_get_ipaddr6 (libnet_t * l)
2671 Returns the IPv6 address for the device libnet was initialized with. If
2672 libnet was initialized without a device (in raw socket mode) the
2673 function will attempt to find one. If the function fails and returns
2674 in6addr_error, a call to libnet_geterrror() will tell you why. This
2675 function is not yet implemented for Win32 platforms.
2676 Parameters

2745 LIBNET_API uint8_t * libnet_getpbuf (libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)
2747 Returns the pblock buffer contents for the specified ptag; a subsequent
2748 call to libnet_getpbuf_size() should be made to determine the size of
2749 the buffer.

2753 ptag the ptag reference number
2754 Returns
2756 a pointer to the pblock buffer or NULL on error
2757 LIBNET_API uint32_t libnet_getpbuf_size (libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)
2759 Returns the pblock buffer size for the specified ptag; a previous call
2760 to libnet_getpbuf() should be made to pull the actual buffer contents.
2761 Parameters
2763 l pointer to a libnet context
2764 ptag the ptag reference number
2765 Returns
2767 the size of the pblock buffer
2768 LIBNET_API uint8_t * libnet_hex_aton (const char * s, int * len)
2770 Takes a colon separated hexidecimal address (from the command line) and
2771 returns a bytestring suitable for use in a libnet_build function. Note
2772 this function performs an implicit malloc and the return value should
2773 be freed after its use.
2774 Parameters
2776 s the string to be parsed
2777 len the resulting size of the returned byte string
2778 Returns
2780 a byte string or NULL on failure
2781 LIBNET_API int libnet_in6_is_error (struct libnet_in6_addr addr)
2783 Check a libnet_in6_addr structure for identity with in6addr_error.
2784 Parameters
2786 addr address to check
2787 Return values
2789 1 if addr is in6addr_error
2790 0 if it is not
2791 LIBNET_API libnet_t * libnet_init (int injection_type, const char * device,
2793 char * err_buf)
2794 Creates the libnet environment. It initializes the library and returns
2795 a libnet context. If the injection_type is LIBNET_LINK or
2796 LIBNET_LINK_ADV, the function initializes the injection primitives for
2797 the link-layer interface enabling the application programmer to build
2798 packets starting at the data-link layer (which also provides more
2799 granular control over the IP layer). If libnet uses the link-layer and
2800 the device argument is non-NULL, the function attempts to use the
2801 specified network device for packet injection. This is either a
2802 canonical string that references the device (such as 'eth0' for a 100MB
2803 Ethernet card on Linux or 'fxp0' for a 100MB Ethernet card on OpenBSD)
2804 or the dots and decimals representation of the device's IP address
2805 (192.168.0.1). If device is NULL, libnet attempts to find a suitable
2806 device to use. If the injection_type is LIBNET_RAW4 or LIBNET_RAW4_ADV,
2807 the function initializes the injection primitives for the IPv4 raw
2808 socket interface. The final argument, err_buf, should be a buffer of
2809 size LIBNET_ERRBUF_SIZE and holds an error message if the function
2810 fails. This function requires root privileges to execute successfully.
2811 Upon success, the function returns a valid libnet context for use in
2812 later function calls; upon failure, the function returns NULL.
2813 Parameters
2815 injection_type packet injection type (LIBNET_LINK, LIBNET_LINK_ADV,
2816 LIBNET_RAW4, LIBNET_RAW4_ADV, LIBNET_RAW6, LIBNET_RAW6_ADV)
2817 device the interface to use (NULL and libnet will choose one)
2818 err_buf will contain an error message on failure
2819 Returns
2821 libnet context ready for use or NULL on error.
2822 LIBNET_API uint32_t libnet_name2addr4 (libnet_t * l, const char *
2824 host_name, uint8_t use_name)
2825 Takes a dotted decimal string or a canonical DNS name and returns a
2826 network byte ordered IPv4 address. This may incur a DNS lookup if mode
2827 is set to LIBNET_RESOLVE and host_name refers to a canonical DNS name.
2828 If mode is set to LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE no DNS lookup will occur. The
2829 function can fail if DNS lookup fails or if mode is set to
2830 LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE and host_name refers to a canonical DNS name.
2831 Parameters
2833 l pointer to a libnet context
2834 host_name pointer to a string containing a presentation format host
2835 name
2836 use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE
2837 Returns
2839 address in network byte order
2840 Return values
2842 -1 (2^32 - 1) on error
2843 LIBNET_API struct libnet_in6_addr libnet_name2addr6 (libnet_t * l, const
2845 char * host_name, uint8_t use_name)
2846 Takes a dotted decimal string or a canonical DNS name and returns a
2847 network byte ordered IPv6 address. This may incur a DNS lookup if mode
2848 is set to LIBNET_RESOLVE and host_name refers to a canonical DNS name.
2849 If mode is set to LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE no DNS lookup will occur. The
2850 function can fail if DNS lookup fails or if mode is set to
2851 LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE and host_name refers to a canonical DNS name.
2852 Parameters
2854 l pointer to a libnet context
2855 host_name pointer to a string containing a presentation format host
2856 name
2857 use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE
2858 Returns
2860 network byte ordered IPv6 address structure
2861 LIBNET_API int libnet_plist_chain_dump (libnet_plist_t * plist)
2863 Runs through the port list and prints the contents of the port list
2864 chain list to stdout.
2865 Parameters
2867 plist previously created portlist
2868 Return values
2870 1 on success
2871 -1 on failure
2872 LIBNET_API char * libnet_plist_chain_dump_string (libnet_plist_t * plist)
2874 Runs through the port list and prints the contents of the port list
2875 chain list to string. This function uses strdup and is not re-entrant.
2876 It also has a memory leak and should not really be used.
2877 Parameters
2879 plist previously created portlist
2880 Returns
2882 a printable string containing the port list contents on success or
2883 NULL on error
2884 LIBNET_API int libnet_plist_chain_free (libnet_plist_t * plist)
2886 Frees all memory associated with port list chain.
2887 Parameters
2889 plist previously created portlist
2890 Return values
2892 1 on success
2893 -1 on failure
2894 LIBNET_API int libnet_plist_chain_new (libnet_t * l, libnet_plist_t **
2896 plist, char * token_list)
2897 Creates a new port list. Port list chains are useful for TCP and UDP-
2898 based applications that need to send packets to a range of ports
2899 (contiguous or otherwise). The port list chain, which token_list points
2900 to, should contain a series of int8_tacters from the following list:
2901 '0123456789,-' of the general format 'x - y, z', where 'xyz' are port
2902 numbers between 0 and 65,535. plist points to the front of the port
2903 list chain list for use in further libnet_plist_chain() functions. Upon
2904 success, the function returns
2905 1. Upon failure, the function returns -1 and libnet_geterror() can
2907 tell you why.
2908 Parameters
2910 l pointer to a libnet context
2911 plist if successful, will refer to the portlist, if not, NULL
2912 token_list string containing the port list primitive
2913 Return values
2915 1 on success
2916 -1 on failure
2917 LIBNET_API int libnet_plist_chain_next_pair (libnet_plist_t * plist,
2919 uint16_t * bport, uint16_t * eport)
2920 Returns the next port list chain pair from the port list chain plist.
2921 bport and eport contain the starting port number and ending port
2922 number, respectively. Upon success, the function returns 1 and fills in
2923 the port variables; however, if the list is empty, the function returns
2924 0 and sets both port variables to 0. Upon failure, the function returns
2925 -1.
2926 Parameters
2928 plist previously created portlist
2929 bport will contain the beginning port number or 0
2930 eport will contain the ending port number or 0
2931 Return values
2933 1 on success
2934 0 if empty
2935 -1 on failure
2936 LIBNET_API int libnet_seed_prand (libnet_t * l)
2938 Seeds the pseudo-random number generator.
2939 Parameters
2941 l pointer to a libnet context
2942 Return values
2944 1 on success
2945 -1 on failure
2946 LIBNET_API void libnet_stats (libnet_t * l, struct libnet_stats * ls)
2948 Fills in a libnet_stats structure with packet injection statistics
2949 (packets written, bytes written, packet sending errors).
2950 Parameters
2952 l pointer to a libnet context
2953 ls pointer to a libnet statistics structure
2954 LIBNET_API int libnet_toggle_checksum (libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag,
2956 int mode)
2957 If a given protocol header is built with the checksum field set to '0',
2958 by default libnet will calculate the header checksum prior to
2959 injection. If the header is set to any other value, by default libnet
2960 will not calculate the header checksum. To over-ride this behavior, use
2961 libnet_toggle_checksum(). Switches auto-checksumming on or off for the
2962 specified ptag. If mode is set to LIBNET_ON, libnet will mark the
2963 specified ptag to calculate a checksum for the ptag prior to injection.
2964 This assumes that the ptag refers to a protocol that has a checksum
2965 field. If mode is set to LIBNET_OFF, libnet will clear the checksum
2966 flag and no checksum will be computed prior to injection. This assumes
2967 that the programmer will assign a value (zero or otherwise) to the
2968 checksum field. Often times this is useful if a precomputed checksum or
2969 some other predefined value is going to be used. Note that when libnet
2970 is initialized with LIBNET_RAW4, the IPv4 header checksum will always
2971 be computed by the kernel prior to injection, regardless of what the
2972 programmer sets.
2973 Parameters
2975 l pointer to a libnet context
2976 ptag the ptag reference number
2977 mode LIBNET_ON or LIBNET_OFF
2978 Return values
2980 1 on success
2981 -1 on failure
2982 LIBNET_API const char * libnet_version (void)
2984 Returns the version of libnet.
2985 Returns
2987 the libnet version
2988 LIBNET_API int libnet_write (libnet_t * l)
2990 Writes a prebuilt packet to the network. The function assumes that l
2991 was previously initialized (via a call to libnet_init()) and that a
2992 previously constructed packet has been built inside this context (via
2993 one or more calls to the libnet_build* family of functions) and is
2994 ready to go. Depending on how libnet was initialized, the function will
2995 write the packet to the wire either via the raw or link layer
2996 interface. The function will also bump up the internal libnet stat
2997 counters which are retrievable via libnet_stats().
2998 Parameters
3000 l pointer to a libnet context
3001 Returns
3003 the number of bytes written
3004 Return values
3006 -1 on error
