Provides the object for a packet and the string representation of the packet. This object has an attribute for each of the layers in the packet so each layer can be accessed directly instead of going through each layer. To access the nfs layer object you can use 'x.nfs' instead of using 'x.ethernet.ip.tcp.rpc.nfs' which would be very cumbersome to use. Also, since NFS can be used with either TCP or UDP it would be harder to access the nfs object independently of the protocol.
Packet object attributes:
Pkt(
record = Record information (frame number, etc.)
ethernet = ETHERNET II (RFC 894) object
ip = IPv4 object
tcp = TCP object
rpc = RPC object
nfs = NFS object
)
Packet object
Usage:
from packet.pkt import Pkt
x = Pkt()
# Check if this is an NFS packet
if x == 'nfs':
print x.nfs
Methods defined here:
---------------------
__eq__(self, other)
Comparison method used to determine if object has a given layer
__init__(self)
Constructor
Initialize object's private data according to the arguments given.
Arguments can be given as positional, named arguments or a
combination of both.
__ne__(self, other)
Comparison method used to determine if object does not have a given layer
__repr__(self)
Formal string representation of packet object
__str__(self)
String representation of object
The representation depends on the verbose level set by debug_repr().
If set to 0 the generic object representation is returned.
If set to 1 the representation of is condensed into a single line.
It contains, the frame number, IP source and destination and/or the
last layer:
'1 0.386615 192.168.0.62 -> 192.168.0.17 TCP 2049 -> 708, seq: 3395733180, ack: 3294169773, ACK,SYN'
'5 0.530957 00:0c:29:54:09:ef -> ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, type: 0x806'
'19 0.434370 192.168.0.17 -> 192.168.0.62 NFS v4 COMPOUND4 call SEQUENCE;PUTFH;GETATTR'
If set to 2 the representation of the object is a line for each layer:
'Pkt(
RECORD: frame 19 @ 0.434370 secs, 238 bytes on wire, 238 bytes captured
ETHERNET: 00:0c:29:54:09:ef -> e4:ce:8f:58:9f:f4, type: 0x800(IPv4)
IP: 192.168.0.17 -> 192.168.0.62, protocol: 6(TCP), len: 224
TCP: src port 708 -> dst port 2049, seq: 3294170673, ack: 3395734137, len: 172, flags: ACK,PSH
RPC: CALL(0), program: 100003, version: 4, procedure: 1, xid: 0x1437d3d5
NFS: COMPOUND4args(tag='', minorversion=1, argarray=[nfs_argop4(argop=OP_SEQUENCE, ...), ...])
)'
add_layer(self, name, layer)
Add layer to name and object to the packet
get_layers(self)
Return the list of layers currently in the packet
