NAME

       tcprewrite - Rewrite the packets in a pcap file.

SYNOPSIS

       tcprewrite [-flag [value]]... [--opt-name [[=| ]value]]...

       All arguments must be options.

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  briefly  documents  the  tcprewrite command.  Tcprewrite is a tool to rewrite packets
       stored in pcap(3) file format, such as crated by tools such as tcpdump(1) and ethereal(1).  Once  a  pcap
       file has had it's packets rewritten, they can be replayed back out on the network using tcpreplay(1).

       tcprewrite currently supports reading the following DLT types:

       DLT_C_HDLC aka Cisco HDLC

       DLT_EN10MB aka Ethernet

       DLT_LINUX_SLL aka Linux Cooked Socket

       DLT_RAW aka RAW IP

       DLT_NULL aka BSD Loopback

       DLT_LOOP aka OpenBSD Loopback

       DLT_IEEE802_11 aka 802.11a/b/g

       DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO aka 802.11a/b/g with Radiotap headers

       Please see the --dlt option for supported DLT types for writing.

       The  packet  editing  features  of  tcprewrite  which  distinguish  between "client" and "server" traffic
       requires a tcpprep(1) cache file.

       For more details, please see the Tcpreplay Manual at: http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/wiki/manual

OPTIONS

-r string, --portmap=string
Rewrite TCP/UDP ports. This option may appear up to -1 times.

Specify a list of comma delimited port mappingings consisting of colon delimited port number
pairs. Each colon delimited port pair consists of the port to match followed by the port number
to rewrite.

Examples:
--portmap=80:8000 --portmap=8080:80 # 80->8000 and 8080->80
--portmap=8000,8080,88888:80 # 3 different ports become 80
--portmap=8000-8999:80 # ports 8000 to 8999 become 80

-s number, --seed=number
Randomize src/dst IPv4/v6 addresses w/ given seed. This option may appear up to 1 times. This
option takes an integer number as its argument.

Causes the source and destination IPv4/v6 addresses to be pseudo randomized but still maintain
client/server relationships. Since the randomization is deterministic based on the seed, you can
reuse the same seed value to recreate the traffic.

-N string, --pnat=string
Rewrite IPv4/v6 addresses using pseudo-NAT. This option may appear up to 2 times. This option
must not appear in combination with any of the following options: srcipmap.

Takes a comma delimited series of colon delimited CIDR netblock pairs. Each netblock pair is
evaluated in order against the IP addresses. If the IP address in the packet matches the first
netblock, it is rewriten using the second netblock as a mask against the high order bits.

IPv4 Example:
--pnat=192.168.0.0/16:10.77.0.0/16,172.16.0.0/12:10.1.0.0/24
IPv6 Example:
--pnat=[2001:db8::/32]:[dead::/16],[2001:db8::/32]:[::ffff:0:0/96]

-S string, --srcipmap=string
Rewrite source IPv4/v6 addresses using pseudo-NAT. This option may appear up to 1 times. This
option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: pnat.

Works just like the --pnat option, but only affects the source IP addresses in the IPv4/v6 header.

-D string, --dstipmap=string
Rewrite destination IPv4/v6 addresses using pseudo-NAT. This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: pnat.

Works just like the --pnat option, but only affects the destination IP addresses in the IPv4/v6
header.

-e string, --endpoints=string
Rewrite IP addresses to be between two endpoints. This option may appear up to 1 times. This
option must appear in combination with the following options: cachefile.

Takes a pair of colon delimited IPv4/v6 addresses which will be used to rewrite all traffic to
appear to be between the two IP's.

IPv4 Example:
--endpoints=172.16.0.1:172.16.0.2
IPv6 Example:
--endpoints=[2001:db8::dead:beef]:[::ffff:0:0:ac:f:0:2]

-b, --skipbroadcast
Skip rewriting broadcast/multicast IPv4/v6 addresses.

By default --seed, --pnat and --endpoints will rewrite broadcast and multicast IPv4/v6 and MAC
addresses. Setting this flag will keep broadcast/multicast IPv4/v6 and MAC addresses from
being rewritten.

-C, --fixcsum
Force recalculation of IPv4/TCP/UDP header checksums.

Causes each IPv4/v6 packet to have it's checksums recalcualted and fixed. Automatically enabled
for packets modified with --seed, --pnat, --endpoints or --fixlen.

-m number, --mtu=number
Override default MTU length (1500 bytes). This option may appear up to 1 times. This option
takes an integer number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 1 through MAXPACKET

Override the default 1500 byte MTU size for determining the maximum padding length (--fixlen=pad)
or when truncating (--mtu-trunc).

--mtu-trunc
Truncate packets larger then specified MTU. This option may appear up to 1 times.

Similar to --fixlen, this option will truncate data in packets from Layer 3 and above to be no
larger then the MTU.

-E, --efcs
Remove Ethernet checksums (FCS) from end of frames.

Note, this option is pretty dangerous! We don't actually check to see if a FCS actually exists in
the frame, we just blindly delete the last two bytes. Hence, you should only use this if you know
know that your OS provides the FCS when reading raw packets.

--ttl=string
Modify the IPv4/v6 TTL/Hop Limit.

Allows you to modify the TTL/Hop Limit of all the IPv4/v6 packets. Specify a number to hard-code
the value or +/-value to increase or decrease by the value provided (limited to 1-255).

Examples:
--ttl=10
--ttl=+7
--ttl=-64

--tos=number
Set the IPv4 TOS/DiffServ/ECN byte. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an
integer number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 255

Allows you to override the TOS (also known as DiffServ/ECN) value in IPv4.

--tclass=number
Set the IPv6 Traffic Class byte. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an
integer number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 255

Allows you to override the IPv6 Traffic Class field.

--flowlabel=number
Set the IPv6 Flow Label. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an integer
number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 1048575

Allows you to override the 20bit IPv6 Flow Label field. Has no effect on IPv4 packets.

-F string, --fixlen=string
Pad or truncate packet data to match header length. This option may appear up to 1 times.

Packets may be truncated during capture if the snaplen is smaller then the packet. This option
allows you to modify the packet to pad the packet back out to the size stored in the IPv4/v6
header or rewrite the IP header total length to reflect the stored packet length.

pad Truncated packets will be padded out so that the packet length matches the IPv4 total length

trunc Truncated packets will have their IPv4 total length field rewritten to match the actual
packet length

del Delete the packet

--skipl2broadcast
Skip rewriting broadcast/multicast Layer 2 addresses.

By default, editing Layer 2 addresses will rewrite broadcast and multicast MAC addresses. Setting
this flag will keep broadcast/multicast MAC addresses from being rewritten.

--dlt=string
Override output DLT encapsulation. This option may appear up to 1 times.

By default, no DLT (data link type) conversion will be made. To change the DLT type of the output
pcap, select one of the following values:

enet Ethernet aka DLT_EN10MB

hdlc Cisco HDLC aka DLT_C_HDLC

user User specified Layer 2 header and DLT type

--enet-dmac=string
Override destination ethernet MAC addresses. This option may appear up to 1 times.

Takes a pair of comma deliminated ethernet MAC addresses which will replace the destination MAC
address of outbound packets. The first MAC address will be used for the server to client traffic
and the optional second MAC address will be used for the client to server traffic.

Example:
--enet-dmac=00:12:13:14:15:16,00:22:33:44:55:66

--enet-smac=string
Override source ethernet MAC addresses. This option may appear up to 1 times.

Takes a pair of comma deliminated ethernet MAC addresses which will replace the source MAC address
of outbound packets. The first MAC address will be used for the server to client traffic and the
optional second MAC address will be used for the client to server traffic.

Example:
--enet-smac=00:12:13:14:15:16,00:22:33:44:55:66

--enet-vlan=string
Specify ethernet 802.1q VLAN tag mode. This option may appear up to 1 times.

Allows you to rewrite ethernet frames to add a 802.1q header to standard 802.3 ethernet headers or
remove the 802.1q VLAN tag information.

add Rewrites the existing 802.3 ethernet header as an 802.1q VLAN header

del Rewrites the existing 802.1q VLAN header as an 802.3 ethernet header

--enet-vlan-tag=number
Specify the new ethernet 802.1q VLAN tag value. This option may appear up to 1 times. This
option must appear in combination with the following options: enet-vlan. This option takes an
integer number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 4095

--enet-vlan-cfi=number

number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 1

--enet-vlan-pri=number
Specify the ethernet 802.1q VLAN priority. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option
must appear in combination with the following options: enet-vlan. This option takes an integer
number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 7

--hdlc-control=number
Specify HDLC control value. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an integer
number as its argument.

The Cisco HDLC header has a 1 byte "control" field. Apparently this should always be 0, but if
you can use any 1 byte value.

--hdlc-address=number
Specify HDLC address. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an integer number
as its argument.

The Cisco HDLC header has a 1 byte "address" field which has two valid values:

0x0F Unicast

0xBF Broadcast
You can however specify any single byte value.

--user-dlt=number
Set output file DLT type. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an integer
number as its argument.

Set the DLT value of the output pcap file.

--user-dlink=string
Rewrite Data-Link layer with user specified data. This option may appear up to 2 times.

Provide a series of comma deliminated hex values which will be used to rewrite or create the Layer
2 header of the packets. The first instance of this argument will rewrite both server and client
traffic, but if this argument is specified a second time, it will be used for the client traffic.

Example:
--user-dlink=01,02,03,04,05,06,00,1A,2B,3C,4D,5E,6F,08,00

-d number, --dbug=number
Enable debugging output. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an integer
number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 5
The default number for this option is:
0

If configured with --enable-debug, then you can specify a verbosity level for debugging output.
Higher numbers increase verbosity.

-i string, --infile=string
Input pcap file to be processed. This option may appear up to 1 times.

-o string, --outfile=string
Output pcap file. This option may appear up to 1 times.

-c string, --cachefile=string
Split traffic via tcpprep cache file. This option may appear up to 1 times.

Use tcpprep cache file to split traffic based upon client/server relationships.

-v, --verbose
Print decoded packets via tcpdump to STDOUT. This option may appear up to 1 times.

-A string, --decode=string
Arguments passed to tcpdump decoder. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option must
appear in combination with the following options: verbose.

When enabling verbose mode (-v) you may also specify one or more additional arguments to pass to
tcpdump to modify the way packets are decoded. By default, -n and -l are used. Be sure to quote
the arguments so that they are not interpreted by tcprewrite. Please see the tcpdump(1) man page
for a complete list of options.

--fragroute=string
Parse fragroute configuration file. This option may appear up to 1 times.

Enable advanced evasion techniques using the built-in fragroute(8) engine. See the fragroute(8)
man page for more details. Important: tcprewrite does not support the delay, echo or print
commands.

--fragdir=string
Which flows to apply fragroute to: c2s, s2c, both. This option may appear up to 1 times. This
option must appear in combination with the following options: cachefile.

Apply the fragroute engine to packets going c2s, s2c or both when using a cache file.

--skip-soft-errors
Skip writing packets with soft errors. This option may appear up to 1 times.

In some cases, packets can't be decoded or the requested editing is not possible. Normally these
packets are written to the output file unedited so that tcpprep cache files can still be used, but
if you wish, these packets can be suppressed.

One example of this is 802.11 management frames which contain no data.

-V, --version
Print version information.

-h, --less-help
Display less usage information and exit.

-H, --help
Display usage information and exit.

-!, --more-help
Extended usage information passed thru pager.

- [rcfile], --save-opts[=rcfile]
Save the option state to rcfile. The default is the last configuration file listed in the OPTION
PRESETS section, below.

- rcfile, --load-opts=rcfile, --no-load-opts
Load options from rcfile. The no-load-opts form will disable the loading of earlier RC/INI files.
--no-load-opts is handled early, out of order.

OPTION PRESETS

       Any option that is not marked as not presettable may be preset by loading values from configuration ("RC"
       or ".INI") file(s).  The homerc file is "$$/", unless that is a directory.  In that case, the file
       ".tcprewriterc" is searched for within that directory.
