Function Documentation
char* libnet_addr2name4 (u_int32_t in, u_int8_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:
in network byte ordered IPv4 address
use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE
Returns:
a pointer to presentation format string
void libnet_addr2name6_r (struct libnet_in6_addr addr, u_int8_t use_name,
char * host_name, int host_name_len)
Should document this baby right here.
int libnet_adv_cull_header (libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag, u_int8_t **
header, u_int32_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:
l pointer to a libnet context
ptag the ptag referencing the header to pull
header will contain the header
header_s will contain the header size
Returns:
1 on success, -1 on failure
int libnet_adv_cull_packet (libnet_t * l, u_int8_t ** packet, u_int32_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:
l pointer to a libnet context
packet will contain the wire-ready packet
packet_s will contain the packet size
Returns:
1 on success, -1 on failure
void libnet_adv_free_packet (libnet_t * l, u_int8_t * packet)
[Advanced Interface] Frees the memory allocated when
libnet_adv_cull_packet() is called.
Parameters:
l pointer to a libnet context
packet a pointer to the packet to free
int libnet_adv_write_link (libnet_t * l, u_int8_t * packet, u_int32_t
packet_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:
l pointer to a libnet context
packet a pointer to the packet to inject
packet_s the size of the packet
Returns:
the number of bytes written, or -1 on failure
int libnet_adv_write_raw_ipv4 (libnet_t * l, u_int8_t * packet, u_int32_t
packet_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:
l pointer to a libnet context
packet a pointer to the packet to inject
packet_s the size of the packet
Returns:
the number of bytes written, or -1 on failure
libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_arp (u_int16_t op, u_int8_t * sha, u_int8_t
* spa, u_int8_t * tha, u_int8_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:
op ARP operation type
sha sender’s hardware address
spa sender’s protocol address
tha target hardware address
tpa targer protocol address
l pointer to a libnet context
Returns:
protocol tag value on success, -1 on error
libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ethernet (u_int8_t * dst, u_int16_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:
dst destination ethernet address
type upper layer protocol type
l pointer to a libnet context
Returns:
protocol tag value on success, -1 on error
libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_fddi (u_int8_t fc, u_int8_t * dst, u_int8_t
dsap, u_int8_t ssap, u_int8_t cf, u_int8_t * oui, u_int16_t type,
libnet_t * l)
Autobuilds a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) header.
Parameters:
fc class format and priority
dst destination fddi address
dsap destination service access point
ssap source service access point
cf cf
oui IEEE organizational code
type upper layer protocol
l pointer to a libnet context
Returns:
protocol tag value on success, -1 on error
libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv4 (u_int16_t len, u_int8_t prot,
u_int32_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:
len total length of the IP packet including all subsequent data
prot upper layer protocol
dst destination IPv4 address (little endian)
l pointer to a libnet context
Returns:
protocol tag value on success, -1 on error
libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_ipv6 (u_int16_t len, u_int8_t nh, struct
libnet_in6_addr dst, libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)
This function is not yet implement and is a NOOP.
Parameters:
len length
nh next header
dst destination IPv6 address
l pointer to a libnet context
ptag protocol tag to modify an existing header, 0 to build a new
one
Returns:
protocol tag value on success, -1 on error
libnet_ptag_t libnet_autobuild_link (u_int8_t * dst, u_int8_t * oui,
u_int16_t type, libnet_t * l)

* l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)
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 u_int8_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.

* payload, u_int32_t payload_s, libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)
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:
marker a 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)
len total length of the BGP message, including the header
type type code of the message (OPEN, UPDATE, NOTIFICATION or
KEEPALIVE)
payload optional payload or NULL
payload_s payload length or 0
l pointer to a libnet context
ptag protocol tag to modify an existing header, 0 to build a new
one

payload, u_int32_t payload_s, libnet_t * l, libnet_ptag_t ptag)
Builds an RFC 1771 Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) OPEN header. This
is the first message sent by each side of a BGP connection. The

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:
fv the 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.
type which protocol is encapsulated (PPP, IP, ...)
sum checksum (0 for libnet to autofill).

void libnet_clear_packet (libnet_t * l)
Clears the current packet referenced and frees all pblocks. Should be

different type using the same context.
Parameters:
l pointer to a libnet context
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:
l pointer to a libnet context
label a canonical name given to recognize the new context, no
longer than LIBNET_LABEL_SIZE
Returns:
1 on success, -1 on failure
void libnet_cq_destroy (void)
[Context Queue] Destroys the entire context queue, calling
libnet_destroy() on each member context.
u_int32_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:
label canonical label of the libnet context to retrieve
Returns:
the expected libnet context, NULL on failure
const char* libnet_cq_getlabel (libnet_t * l)
[Context Queue] Returns the canonical label associated with the
context.
Parameters:
l pointer to a libnet context
Returns:
pointer to the libnet context’s label
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
int libnet_cq_last (void)
[Context Queue] Check whether the iterator is at the last context in
the queue.
Returns:
1 if at the end of the context queue, 0 otherwise
libnet_t* libnet_cq_next (void)
[Context Queue] Get next context from the context queue.
Returns:
the next context from the context queue
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:
l pointer to a libnet context
Returns:
the pointer to the removed libnet context, NULL on failure
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:
label canonical name of the context to remove
Returns:
the pointer to the removed libnet context, NULL on failure
u_int32_t libnet_cq_size (void)
[Context Queue] Function returns the number of libnet contexts that are
in the queue.
Returns:
the number of libnet contexts currently in the queue

variable. Useful to be used in conjunction with the advanced interface
and a culled packet.
Parameters:
packet the packet to print
len length of the packet in bytes
swap 1 to swap byte order, 0 to not. Counter-intuitively, it is
necessary to swap in order to see the byte order as it is on the
wire (this may be a bug).

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

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:
s the string to be parsed
len the resulting size of the returned byte string
Returns:
a byte string or NULL on failure
libnet_t* libnet_init (int injection_type, 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_type packet injection type (LIBNET_LINK, LIBNET_LINK_ADV,
LIBNET_RAW4, LIBNET_RAW4_ADV, LIBNET_RAW6, LIBNET_RAW6_ADV)
device the interface to use (NULL and libnet will choose one)
err_buf will contain an error message on failure
Returns:
libnet context ready for use or NULL on error.
u_int32_t libnet_name2addr4 (libnet_t * l, char * host_name, u_int8_t
use_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:
l pointer to a libnet context
host_name pointer to a string containing a presentation format host
name
use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE
Returns:
network byte ordered IPv4 address or -1 (2^32 - 1) on error
struct libnet_in6_addr libnet_name2addr6 (libnet_t * l, char * host_name,
u_int8_t use_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:
l pointer to a libnet context
host_name pointer to a string containing a presentation format host
name
use_name LIBNET_RESOLVE or LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE
Returns:
network byte ordered IPv6 address structure
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:
plist previously created portlist
Returns:
1 on success, -1 on failure
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:
plist previously created portlist
Returns:
a printable string containing the port list contents on success
NULL on error
int libnet_plist_chain_free (libnet_plist_t * plist)
Frees all memory associated with port list chain.
Parameters:
plist previously created portlist
Returns:
1 on success, -1 on failure
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:
l pointer to a libnet context
plist if successful, will refer to the portlist, if not, NULL
token_list string containing the port list primitive
Returns:
1 on success, -1 on failure
int libnet_plist_chain_next_pair (libnet_plist_t * plist, u_int16_t *
bport, u_int16_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:
plist previously created portlist
bport will contain the beginning port number or 0
eport will contain the ending port number or 0
Returns:
1 on success, 0 if empty, -1 on failure
int libnet_seed_prand (libnet_t * l)
Seeds the psuedo-random number generator.
Parameters:
l pointer to a libnet context
Returns:
1 on success, -1 on failure
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:
l pointer to a libnet context
ls pointer to a libnet statistics structure
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
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:
l pointer to a libnet context
ptag the ptag reference number
mode LIBNET_ON or LIBNET_OFF
Returns:
1 on success, -1 on failure
const char* libnet_version (void)
Returns the version of libnet.
Returns:
the libnet version
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:
l pointer to a libnet context
Returns:
the number of bytes written, -1 on error
