SYNOPSIS
use Net::RawIP;
$n = Net::RawIP->new({
ip => {
saddr => 'my.target.lan',
daddr => 'my.target.lan',
},

psh => 1,
syn => 1,
},
});
$n->send;
$n->ethnew("eth0");
$n->ethset(source => 'my.target.lan', dest =>'my.target.lan');
$n->ethsend;

$f = dump_open($p, "/my/home/log");
loop($p, 10, \&dump, $f);
DESCRIPTION
This package provides a class which can be used for creating, manipulating and sending raw IP packets
with optional features for manipulating Ethernet headers.
Note: Ethernet related methods are implemented on Linux and *BSD only.
As its name implies, this module is quite low-level, and currently duplicates some features with
"Net::Pcap". If you prefer a higher-level module (in terms of Perl support), please take a look at
"Net::Write", which provides a portable interface to construct and send raw packets on the network.

METHODS
new
Net::RawIP->new({
ARGPROTO => {PROTOKEY => PROTOVALUE,...}
ip => {IPKEY => IPVALUE,...},
})
ARGPROTO is one of (tcp, udp, icmp, generic) defining the protcol of the current packet. Defaults to
tcp.
You can NOT change protocol in the object after its creation. Unless you want your packet to be TCP,
you must set the protocol type in the new() call.
The possible values of PROTOKEY depend on the value of ARGPROTO
If ARGPROTO is <tcp> PROTOKEY can be one of (source, dest, seq, ack_seq, doff, res1, res2, urg, ack,
psh, rst, syn, fin, window, check, urg_ptr, data).
If ARGPROTO is icmp PROTOKEY can be one of (type, code, check, gateway, id, sequence, unused, mtu,
data).
If ARGPROTO is udp PROTOKEY can be one of (source, dest, len, check, data)
If ARGPROTO is generic PROTOKEY can be data only.
The data entries are scalars containing packed network byte order data.
As the real icmp packet is a C union one can specify only one of the following set of values.
• gateway - (int)
• (id and sequence) - (short and short)
• (mtu and unused) - (short and short)
The default values are:
• (0,0,0,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0xffff,0,0,'') for tcp
• (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,'') for icmp
• (0,0,0,0,'') for udp
• ('') for generic
The valid values for urg ack psh rst syn fin are 0 or 1. The value of data is a string. Length of the
result packet will be calculated if you do not specify non-zero value for tot_len.
The value of ip is a hash defining the parameters of the IP header (iphdr) in the current IP packet.
IPKEY is one of (version, ihl, tos, tot_len, id, frag_off, ttl, protocol, check, saddr, daddr). You
can to specify any and all of the above parameters. If check is not given checksum will be calculated
automatically.
The values of the saddr and the daddr can be hostname (e.g. www.oracle.com ) or IP address
(205.227.44.16), and even the integer value if you happen to know what is 205.227.44.16 as an unsigned
int in the host format ;).
Examples:
my $rawip = Net::RawIP->new({udp =>{}});
or
my $rawip = Net::RawIP->new({ip => { tos => 22 }, udp => { source => 22,dest =>23 } });
The default values of the ip hash are
• (4,5,16,0,0,0x4000,64,6,0,0,0) for tcp
• (4,5,16,0,0,0x4000,64,17,0,0,0) for udp
• (4,5,16,0,0,0x4000,64,1,0,0,0) for icmp
• (4,5,16,0,0,0x4000,64,0,0,0,0) for generic
dump_open
If dump_open opens and returns a valid file descriptor, this descriptor can be used in the perl
callback as a perl filehandle.
loop
dispatch
loop and dispatch can run a perl code refs as a callbacks for packet analyzing and printing. the
fourth parameter for loop and dispatch can be an array or a hash reference and it can be dereferenced
in a perl callback.
next
next() returns a string (next packet).
timem
timem() returns a string that looks like sec.microsec, where the sec and the microsec are the values
returned by gettimeofday(3). If microsec is less than 100000 then zeros will be added to the left
side of microsec for adjusting to six digits.
Similar to sprintf("%.6f", Time::HiRes::time());
linkoffset
The function which called linkoffset returns a number of the bytes in the link protocol header e.g. 14
for a Ethernet or 4 for a Point-to-Point protocol. This function has one input parameter (pcap_t*)
that is returned by open_live.
ifaddrlist
ifaddrlist() returns a hash reference. In this hash keys are the running network devices, values are
ip addresses of those devices in an internet address format.
rdev
rdev() returns a name of the outgoing device for given destination address. It has one input
parameter (destination address in an internet address or a domain name or a host byteorder int
formats).
proto
Returns the name of the subclass current object e.g. tcp. No input parameters.
packet
Returns a scalar which contain the packed ip packet of the current object. No input parameters.
set
Method for setting the parameters of the current object. The given parameters must look like the
parameters for the constructor.
bset($packet,$eth)
Method for setting the parameters of the current object. $packet is a scalar which contain binary
structure (an ip or an eth packet). This scalar must match with the subclass of the current object.
If $eth is given and it have a non-zero value then assumed that packet is a ethernet packet,otherwise
it is a ip packet.
get
is a method for get the parameters from the current object. This method returns the array which will
be filled with an asked parameters in order as they have ordered in packet if you'd call it with an
array context. If this method is called with a scalar context then it returns a hash reference. In
that hash will stored an asked parameters as values,the keys are their names.
The input parameter is a hash reference. In this hash can be three keys. They are a ip and an one of
the ARGPROTOs. The value must be an array reference. This array contain asked parameters. E.g. you
want to know current value of the tos from the iphdr and the flags of the tcphdr. Here is a code :
($tos,$urg,$ack,$psh,$rst,$syn,$fin) = $packet->get({
ip => [qw(tos)],
tcp => [qw(psh syn urg ack rst fin)]
});
The members in the array can be given in any order.
For get the ethernet parameters you have to use the key eth and the values of the array
(dest,source,proto). The values of the dest and the source will look like the output of the
ifconfig(8) e.g. 00:00:E8:43:0B:2A.
open_live
send($delay,$times)
is a method which has used for send raw ip packet. The input parameters are the delay seconds and the
times for repeating send. If you do not specify parameters for the send,then packet will be sent once
without delay. If you do specify for the times a negative value then packet will be sent forever.
E.g. you want to send the packet for ten times with delay equal to one second. Here is a code :
$packet->send(1,10);
The delay could be specified not only as integer but and as 0.25 for sleep to 250 ms or 3.5 to sleep
for 3 seconds and 500 ms.
pcapinit($device,$filter,$psize,$timeout)
is a method for some a pcap init. The input parameters are a device,a string with a program for a
filter,a packet size,a timeout. This method will call the function open_live,then compile the filter
string by compile(), set the filter and returns the pointer (pcap_t *).
pcapinit_offline($fname)
is a method for an offline pcap init.The input parameter is a name of the file which contains raw
output of the libpcap dump function. Returns the pointer (pcap_t *).
ethnew($device,dest => ARGOFDEST,source => ARGOFSOURCE)
is a method for init the ethernet subclass in the current object, $device is a required parameter,dest
and source are an optional, $device is an ethernet device e.g. eth0, an ARGOFDEST and an ARGOFSOURCE
are a the ethernet addresses in the ethernet header of the current object.
The ARGOFDEST and the ARGOFSOURCE can be given as a string which contain just 6 bytes of the real
ethernet address or like the output of the ifconfig(8) e.g. 00:00:E8:43:0B:2A or just an ip address or
a hostname of a target, then a mac address will be discovered automatically.
The ethernet frame will be sent with given addresses. By default the source and the dest will be
filled with a hardware address of the $device.
NOTE: For use methods which are related to the ethernet you have to before initialize ethernet
subclass by ethnew.
ethset
is a method for set an ethernet parameters in the current object. The given parameters must look like
parameters for the ethnew without a $device.
ethsend
is a method for send an ethernet frame. The given parameters must look like a parameters for the
send.
send_eth_frame($frame,$times,$delay)
is a method for send any ethernet frame which you may construct by hands.$frame is a packed ethernet
frame exept destination and source fields(these fields can be setting by ethset or ethnew). Another
parameters must look like the parameters for the send.
optset(OPTPROTO => { type => [...],data => [...] },...)
is a method for set an IP and a TCP options. The parameters for the optset must be given as a key-
value pairs. The OPTPROTO,s are the prototypes of the options(ip,tcp),values are the hashes
references.The keys in this hashes are type and data. The value of the type is an array reference.
This array must be filled with an integers.Refer to a RFC for a valid types.The value of the data also
is an array reference. This array must be filled with strings which must contain all bytes from a
option except bytes with type and length of an option.Of course indexes in those arrays must be equal
for the one option.If type is equal to 0 or 1 then there is no bytes with a length and a data,but you
have to specify zero data for compability.
optget(OPTPROTO => { type => [...] },...)
is a method for get an IP and a TCP options. The parameters for the optget must be given as key-value
pairs. The OPTPROTO is the prototype of the options(ip,tcp),the values are the hashes references.The
key is the type.The value of the type is an array reference. The return value is an array which will
be filled with asked types,lengths,datas of the each type of the option in order as you have asked.If
you do not specify type then all types,lengths,datas of an options will be returned. E.g. you want to
know all the IP options from the current object. Here is a code:
@opts = $n->optget(ip => {});
E.g. you want to know just the IP options with the type which equal to 131 and 137. Here is a code:
($t131,$l131,$d131,$t137,$l137,$d137) = $n->optget(
ip =>{
type =>[(131,137)]
} );
optunset
is a method for unset a subclass of the IP or the TCP options from a current object.It can be used if
you won't use options in the current object later. This method must be used only after the optset.
The parameters for this method are the OPTPROTO's. E.g. you want to unset an IP options. Here is a
code:
$n->optunset('ip');
E.g. you want to unset a TCP and an IP options. Here is a code:
$n->optunset('ip','tcp');
