Packet Manipulation

Packet manipulation

In this chapter, we’ll try to do variant implementations using the awesome lib, PacketFu[^1].

PacketFu - The packet manipulation

PacketFu Features

  • Manipulating TCP protocol
  • Manipulating UDP protocol
  • Manipulating ICMP protocol
  • Packet Capturing - Support TCPdump style[^2]
  • Read and write PCAP files

Installing PacketFu

Before installing packetfu gem you’ll need to install ruby-dev and libpcap-dev

apt-get -y install libpcap-dev

then install packetfu and pcaprub(required for packet reading and writing from network interfaces)

  • Install packetfu & pcaprub gems ``` gem install packetfu pcaprub

### Basic Usage

#### Get your interface information

require 'packetfu'

ifconfig = PacketFu::Utils.ifconfig("wlan0") ifconfig[:iface] ifconfig[:ip_saddr] ifconfig[:eth_saddr]


#### Get MAC address of a remote host

PacketFu::Utils.arp("192.168.0.21", :iface => "wlan0")


#### Read Pcap file

PacketFu::PcapFile.read_packets("file.pcap")


### Building TCP Syn packet

require 'packetfu'

def pkts #$config = PacketFu::Config.new(PacketFu::Utils.whoami?(:iface=> "wlan0")).config # set interface $config = PacketFu::Config.new(:iface=> "wlan0").config # use this line instead of above if you face `whoami?': uninitialized constant PacketFu::Capture (NameError)

pkt_to_a = [pkt.to_s] return pkt_to_a end

def scan pkt_array = pkts.sort_by{rand} puts "-" * " [-] Send Syn flag".length + "\n" + " [-] Send Syn flag " + "\n"

inj = PacketFu::Inject.new(:iface => $config[:iface] , :config => $config, :promisc => false) inj.array_to_wire(:array => pkt_array) # Send/Inject the packet through connection

puts " [-] Done" + "\n" + "-" * " [-] Send Syn flag".length end

scan


### Simple TCPdump

Lets see how we can

require 'packetfu'

capture = PacketFu::Capture.new(:iface=> "wlan0", :promisc => true, :start => true) capture.show_live


### Simple IDS

This is a simple IDS will print source and destination of any communication has “hacked” payload

require 'packetfu'

capture = PacketFu::Capture.new(:iface => "wlan0", :start => true, :filter => "ip") loop do capture.stream.each do |pkt| packet = PacketFu::Packet.parse(pkt) puts "#{Time.now}: " + "Source IP: #{packet.ip_saddr}" + " --> " + "Destination IP: #{packet.ip_daddr}" if packet.payload =~ /hacked/i end end


Now try to Netcat any open port then send hacked

echo "Hacked" | nc -nv 192.168.0.15 4444


return

2015-03-04 23:20:38 +0300: Source IP: 192.168.0.13 --> Destination IP: 192.168.0.15 ```
