PacketFu6

A library for reading and writing packets to an interface or to a libpcap-formatted file. This is a temporary hard copy of PacketFu library.

It is maintained here.

Setup

To install the gem, type

gem install packetfu6

To install from source, type

gem install bundler
git clone https://github.com/decrypto-org/packetfu6.git
cd packetfu6
bundle install

Quick Start

The best way to test your installation is by using packetfu-shell, like so

$ rvmsudo ruby examples/packetfu-shell.rb

                a mid-level packet manipulation library for ruby

Once you're a this point, you're in an IRB (aka: REPL) interface when you can start creating and injection packets with PacketFu.

Here's an example of creating a TCPPacket and sending it out on the wire:

2.3.0 :002 > packet = TCPPacket.new(:config => Utils.whoami?)
 => --EthHeader-------------------------------------------
  eth_dst      ec:08:6b:62:bc:d2 PacketFu::EthMac

  tcp_opts                       PacketFu::TcpOptions

2.3.0 :003 > packet.ip_dst = "8.8.8.8"
 => "8.8.8.8"
2.3.0 :004 > packet.tcp_dst = 53
 => 53
2.3.0 :005 > packet.to_w

Documentation

PacketFu6 is yard-compatible (as well as sdoc/rdoc, if you prefer). You can generate local documentation easily with either yard doc . or sdoc, and view doc/index.html with your favored browser. Once that's done, navigate at the top, and read up on how to create a Packet or Capture from an interface with show_live or whatever.
