pcap.cr Build Status

Crystal high level bindings for libpcap.

  • crystal-libpcap(libpcap.cr) is a low level bindings for libpcap created by [puppetpies].

  • pcap.cr is a wrapper for it and provides rich interface for packets like ruby-pcap.

  • Crystal: 0.27.0

  • x86_64 binary: https://github.com/maiha/pcap.cr/releases

Usage : loop with handler

  • Pcap::Capture#loop : NoReturn

is a easiest way to read all packets, and loop forever. tcpdump uses this style to capture packets.

require "pcap"

pcap = Pcap::Capture.open_live("eth0")
pcap.setfilter("tcp port 80")
pcap.loop do |pkt|
  if pkt.tcp_data?
    # p pkt.ether_header
    # p pkt.ip_header
    # p pkt.tcp_header
    p pkt.tcp_data.to_s
  end
end
"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nUser-Agent: curl/7.47.0\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n"
"HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nServer: nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu)\r\nDate: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 ...

Usage : reads a packet without blocking

  • Pcap::Capture#next_ex : Pcap::NextError | Pcap::Packet

reads a next packet without blocking.

pkt = pcap.next_ex
case pkt
when Pcap::Packet            ; # use pkt as you like
when Pcap::NextError::Timeout; # try again
when Pcap::NextError::Error  ; abort "libpcap error"
when Pcap::NextError::EOF    ; # found only in offline mode
end
  • Pcap::Capture#get? : Pcap::Packet?

is a easiest way to read a packet. This api would block because get? = next_ex + timeout retry.

if pkt = pcap.get?
  puts pkt
else
  abort "EOF reached"
end

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  pcap:
    github: maiha/pcap.cr
    version: 0.6.1

And then

% shards update

Example applications

filtertest

Test a string of pcap-filter.

% filtertest 'tcp'
% filtertest 'tcp 80'
syntax error
% filtertest 'tcp port 80'
% filtertest -f filter.data # for large string

(As it works, this command will not display any output.)

tcpsniffer

  • (run as root)
% crystal examples/tcpsniffer.cr

# (or binary)
% tcpsniffier -p 6379
% tcpsniffier -f '(tcp port 80) or (tcp port 8080)' 
% tcpsniffier -i eth0 -p 10080
  • send some packets to your specified port by curl localhost
