class PacketFu::Utils

Utils is a collection of various and sundry network utilities that are useful for packet manipulation.

Public Class Methods

arp(target_ip,args={}) click to toggle source

Returns the MAC address of an IP address, or nil if it's not responsive to arp. Takes a dotted-octect notation of the target IP address, as well as a number of parameters:

Parameters

 :iface
  Interface. Defaults to "eth0"
 :eth_saddr
  Source MAC address. Defaults to "00:00:00:00:00:00".
 :ip_saddr
  Source IP address. Defaults to "0.0.0.0"
 :flavor
  The flavor of the ARP request. Defaults to :none.
 :timeout
  Timeout in seconds. Defaults to 3.

=== Example
  PacketFu::Utils::arp("192.168.1.1") #=> "00:18:39:01:33:70"
  PacketFu::Utils::arp("192.168.1.1", :iface => "wlan2", :timeout => 5, :flavor => :hp_deskjet)

=== Warning

It goes without saying, spewing forged ARP packets on your network is a great way to really
irritate your co-workers.

        target_mac = arp_response.arp_saddr_mac if arp_response.arp_saddr_ip = target_ip
      end
      timeout += 0.1
      sleep 0.1 # Check for a response ten times per second.
    end
    target_mac
  end # cap_thread
  cap_thread.value
end
ifconfig(iface='eth0') click to toggle source

Handles ifconfig for various (okay, two) platforms. Will have Windows done shortly.

Takes an argument (either string or symbol) of the interface to look up, and returns a hash which contains at least the :iface element, and if configured, these additional elements:

:eth_saddr  # A human readable MAC address
:eth_src    # A packed MAC address
:ip_saddr   # A dotted-quad string IPv4 address
:ip_src     # A packed IPv4 address
:ip4_obj    # An IPAddr object with bitmask
:ip6_saddr  # A colon-delimited hex IPv6 address, with bitmask
:ip6_obj    # An IPAddr object with bitmask

Example

PacketFu::Utils.ifconfig :wlan0 # Not associated yet
#=> {:eth_saddr=>"00:1d:e0:73:9d:ff", :eth_src=>"\000\035\340s\235\377", :iface=>"wlan0"}
PacketFu::Utils.ifconfig("eth0") # Takes 'eth0' as default
#=> {:eth_saddr=>"00:1c:23:35:70:3b", :eth_src=>"\000\034#5p;", :ip_saddr=>"10.10.10.9", :ip4_obj=>#<IPAddr: IPv4:10.10.10.0/255.255.254.0>, :ip_src=>"\n\n\n\t", :iface=>"eth0", :ip6_saddr=>"fe80::21c:23ff:fe35:703b/64", :ip6_obj=>#<IPAddr: IPv6:fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000>}

lookupdev() click to toggle source

This is a brute-force approach at trying to find a suitable interface with an IP address.

# File lib/packetfu/utils.rb, line 135
def self.lookupdev
  # XXX cycle through eth0-9 and wlan0-9, and if a cap start throws a RuntimeErorr (and we're
  # root), it's not a good interface. Boy, really ought to fix lookupdev directly with another
  # method that returns an array rather than just the first candidate.
end
rand_routable_daddr() click to toggle source

Since 177/8 is IANA reserved (for now), this network should be handled by your default gateway and default interface.

# File lib/packetfu/utils.rb, line 60
def self.rand_routable_daddr
  IPAddr.new((rand(16777216) + 2969567232), Socket::AF_INET)
end
whoami?(args={}) click to toggle source

Discovers the local IP and Ethernet address, which is useful for writing packets you expect to get a response to. Note, this is a noisy operation; a UDP packet is generated and dropped on to the default (or named) interface, and then captured (which means you need to be root to do this).

whoami? returns a hash of :eth_saddr, :eth_src, :ip_saddr, :ip_src, :ip_src_bin, :eth_dst, and :eth_daddr (the last two are usually suitable for a gateway mac address). It's most useful as an argument to PacketFu::Config.new, or as an argument to the many Packet constructors.

Note that if you have multiple interfaces with the same route (such as when wlan0 and eth0 are associated to the same network), the “first” one according to Pcap.lookupdev will be used, regardless of which :iface you pick.

Parameters

:iface => "eth0"
 An interface to listen for packets on. Note that since we rely on the OS to send the probe packet,
 you will need to specify a target which will use this interface.
:target => "1.2.3.4"
 A target IP address. By default, a packet will be sent to a random address in the 177/8 network.
