NetPacket::UDP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation NetPacket::UDP(3pm)NAMENetPacket::UDP - Assemble and disassemble UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
packets.
VERSION
version 1.6.0
SYNOPSIS
use NetPacket::UDP;
$udp_obj = NetPacket::UDP->decode($raw_pkt);
$udp_pkt = $udp_obj->encode($l3_obj);
$udp_data = NetPacket::UDP::strip($raw_pkt);
DESCRIPTION
"NetPacket::UDP" provides a set of routines for assembling and
disassembling packets using UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
Methods
"NetPacket::UDP->decode([RAW PACKET])"
Decode the raw packet data given and return an object containing
instance data. This method will quite happily decode garbage
input. It is the responsibility of the programmer to ensure valid
packet data is passed to this method.
"$udp_packet-<gt"encode($l3_obj)>
Return the encoded version of the UDP packet object. Needs part of
the IP header contained (src_ip and dest_ip specifically) in
$l3_obj, in order to calculate the UDP checksum. The length field
will also be set automatically based on values provided.
Functions
"NetPacket::UDP::strip([RAW PACKET])"
Return the encapsulated data (or payload) contained in the UDP
packet. This data is suitable to be used as input for other
"NetPacket::*" modules.
This function is equivalent to creating an object using the
"decode()" constructor and returning the "data" field of that
object.
Instance data
The instance data for the "NetPacket::UDP" object consists of the
following fields.
src_port
The source UDP port for the datagram.
dest_port
The destination UDP port for the datagram.
len The length (including length of header) in bytes for this packet.
cksum
The checksum value for this packet.
data
The encapsulated data (payload) for this packet.
IP data
The IP data for the $l3_obj object consists of the following fields.
Additional items may be supplied as well as passing the whole object
returned by NetPacket::IP->decode but are unnecessary.
src_ip
The source IP for the datagram
dest_ip
The destination IP for the datagram
Exports
default
none
exportable
udp_strip
tags
The following tags group together related exportable items.
":strip"
Import the strip function "udp_strip".
":ALL"
All the above exportable items.
EXAMPLE
The following example prints the source IP address and port, the
destination IP address and port, and the UDP packet length:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Net::PcapUtils;
use NetPacket::Ethernet qw(:strip);
use NetPacket::IP;
use NetPacket::UDP;
sub process_pkt {
my($arg, $hdr, $pkt) = @_;
my $ip_obj = NetPacket::IP->decode(eth_strip($pkt));
my $udp_obj = NetPacket::UDP->decode($ip_obj->{data});
print("$ip_obj->{src_ip}:$udp_obj->{src_port} -> ",
"$ip_obj->{dest_ip}:$udp_obj->{dest_port} ",
"$udp_obj->{len}\n");
}
Net::PcapUtils::loop(\&process_pkt, FILTER => 'udp');
The following is an example use in combination with Net::Divert to
alter the payload of packets that pass through. All occurences of foo
will be replaced with bar. This example is easy to test with netcat,
but otherwise makes little sense. :) Adapt to your needs:
use Net::Divert;
use NetPacket::IP qw(IP_PROTO_UDP);
use NetPacket::UDP;
$divobj = Net::Divert->new('yourhost',9999);
$divobj->getPackets(\&alterPacket);
sub alterPacket
{
my ($data, $fwtag) = @_;
$ip_obj = NetPacket::IP->decode($data);
if($ip_obj->{proto} == IP_PROTO_UDP) {
# decode the UDP header
$udp_obj = NetPacket::UDP->decode($ip_obj->{data});
# replace foo in the payload with bar
$udp_obj->{data} =~ s/foo/bar/g;
# re-encode the packet
$ip_obj->{data} = $udp_obj->encode($udp_obj, $ip_obj);
$data = $ip_obj->encode;
}
$divobj->putPacket($data,$fwtag);
}
