PcapDumper enhancements

Sly Technologies — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 17:42:45 -0000

Additional methods for handling various types of packets and header combinations. Also deprecate PcapDumper.dump(...ByteBuffer) version that ignore position and limit properties. Does not conform to proper JRE ByteBuffer usage and API contract.

Expand protocol IDs

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 00:03:19 -0000

Numeric protocol ids need to be expanded beyond the current 64 count limit by native scanner. Also create bitmap representation of ids to allow bitmask operation on protocols such as checking if more then 1 protocol ihas bees dissected.

Add generic AVP accessors to JMappedHeader

Sly Technologies — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:16:58 -0000

Add accessors to access the contents of SIP and HTTP headers by string name. Any AVP value should be retrievable from the headers.

Add RTCP Protocol

Sly Technologies — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 00:14:24 -0000

Add RTCP protocol to complement existing RTP.

Add NullHeader support

Sly Technologies — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:06:34 -0000

Add the loopback/null header data-link support.

Add SCTP protocol

Sly Technologies — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:04:41 -0000

Add supprot for Sigtran SCTP protocol header and all components (chunks).

Add new libpcap 1.0.0 API functions

Sly Technologies — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 14:43:32 -0000

New methods from libpcap 1.0.0

pcap_create - allocates memory for the pcap handle (must be followed by a corresponding pcap_activate)
pcap_set_snaplen - set the snapshot length for a not-yet-activated capture handle
pcap_set_promisc - set promiscuous mode for a not-yet-activated capture handle
pcap_can_set_rfmon - check whether monitor mode can be set for a not-yet-activated capture handle
pcap_set_rfmon - set monitor mode for a not-yet-activated capture handle
pcap_set_timeout - set the read timeout for a not-yet-activated capture handle
pcap_set_buffer_size - set the buffer size for a not-yet-activated capture handle
pcap_setdirection - set the direction for which packets will be captured
pcap_activate - actives the pcap handle and most of the above functions may no longer be called on an active handle
pcap_statustostr - convert a PCAP_ERROR_ or PCAP_WARNING_ value to a string
pcap_strerror - convert an errno value to a string (provides a wrapper around strerror() for the benefit of OSes that don't have strerror())
pcap_offline_filter - check whether a filter matches a packet. BPF VM engine in user land
pcap_datalink_ext - (Guy Harris) the theory was that some linktype values in a savefile could give additional information, such as the number of bits of FCS. Currently, that's only used by the code to support DAG cards.
pcap_set_datalink - set the link-layer header type to be used by a capture device.
pcap_list_datalinks - get a list of link-layer header types supported by a capture device
pcap_free_datalinks - frees allocated memory in pcap_list_datalinks
pcap_snapshot - get the snapshot length set with pcap_set_snaplen or pcap_open_live

FDDI + LLC protocol doesn't exist. It looks like Eth + Data

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 17:15:27 -0000

When processing a packet with headers [FDDI:LLC:IP:UDP:DATA] I see a packet with headers [ETH:DATA] where Eth has the bytes of FDDI protocol header plus the first byte of LLC header.
All the other headers are at the beginning of the DATA paylod.

Make packet copies on handler's optional

Sly Technologies — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:10:59 -0000

Enhance API to provide a way for selecting optional operations before packets are dispatched to handlers.

Allow packet copies to be options

Allow allocation of java packet objects independent of copies and optional

Allow packet scans to be optional

Add frame counter reset on JScanner

Sly Technologies — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:08:46 -0000

Allow user to reset or set the packet counter on JScanner to desired value.
