Re: assemble/disassemble network packets by merlyn (Sage) on Mar 19, 2007 at 19:16 UTC
How can i make my own assemble/disassemble network packets in perl and would that be raw socket. I know there a tool like netpacket out there but i want to make my own tools. Within a few minutes of this post, "whiteghost" on Freenode #perl asked: `<whiteghost> How would i assemble/disassemble network packets in perl?` [download] The writing style is very similar (historically in both cases), so I can't say for certain that this is the same person, but I'd bet a month's rent on it. The thing is, from this other IRC comment he made: `<whiteghost> i ry to thng of a tool i can make for exploit bugs in win +dows but can't think of one right now.` [download] we've all pretty much written him off as a "cracker-wannabe". So, do what you wish in response to this post, but know that there's a growing group of folks that won't help him. update: I have strong reason to believe that packet is the same person as well, based on timing of messages here, in email, and on IRC. -- Randal L.

Maybe he and freak should get together and swap l33t h4x0R 1nf0z.	[reply]

What problem are you actually trying to solve (why do you want to deal with network packets this way)? (I'm asking because this looks like a XY Problem.) What have you tried already?	[reply]

Use `unpack` and `getsockopt`. Read kernel manpages like `getsockopt(2), socket(7), ip(7), raw(7), tcp(7), udp(7)` and internet RFCs like RFC 793.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Use Net::RawIP to send packets. Use Net::Pcap to get the replies. Use NetPacket::* to disassemble the replies. Read up on the perldoc of each.	[reply]
