| Libcrafter is a high level library for C++ designed to facilitate the creation |
| and decoding of network packets. It is able to craft or decode packets of most |
| common networks protocols, send them on the wire, capture them and match |
| requests and replies. |
| It enables the creation of networking tools in a few lines with a interface |
| very similar to <pkg>net-analyzer/scapy</pkg>. |
| A packet is described as layers that you stack one upon the other. Fields of |
| each layer have useful default values that you can overload. |
| |
| The library is designed to be used in multithreaded programs where you can |
| combine several tasks simultaneously. For example, you can easily design |
| something that sniffs, mangles, and sends at the same time you are doing an |
| ARP-Spoofing attack. |
| It also contains a very naive implementation of the TCP/IP stack (fragmentation |
| is no handled yet) at user level that enables working with TCP streams. This |
| facilitates the creation of tools for data injection on arbitrary connections, |
| IP spoofing and TCP/IP session hijacking. |
| |
| Supported protocols are: |
| |
| Ethernet, SLL (Linux cooked-mode capture), ARP, DHCP, DHCP options, IP, IP |
| options, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, ICMP extensions, ICMPv6 extensions, TCP, TCP |
| options, UDP and DNS |
