• python-libpcap: https://github.com/caizhengxin/python-libpcap

Features

• Read pcap file
• Write pcap file
• Merge pcap file
• Get first iface (active)
• Get iface list (active)
• Send raw packet
• Capture packet

Usage

Install

$ sudo apt install libpcap-dev -yq

Command

$ cargo build --release

# Combine multiple files into one file
$ ./target/release/libpcap-merge -i ~/pcap/ -o new.pcap port 80

# Writes to the pcap file
$ ./target/release/libpcap-write -o test.pcap -p d4ad200073c5a8a1596edbd10800450000341b01400080065e5fc0a8000cc0a80007c4aa001a5c5c8864000000008002faf049360000020405b40103030801010402

Read pcap file

use libpcap_rs::LibPcap;


fn main() {
    match LibPcap::open("~/tests/pcap/http_1.pcap", "r") {
        Ok(f) => {
            for pkt in f.read() {
                println!("{:?}", pkt);
            }        
        }
        Err(e) => {
            println!("[ERROR]: {e:?}");
        }
    }
}

Write pcap file

use libpcap_rs::LibPcap;


fn main() {
    let input = b"\x00\x0c\x29\xaf\x7f\xfe\x10\x9a\xdd\x4e\x06\x0d\x08\x00\x45\x00\
    \x00\x40\xb5\xf2\x00\x00\x40\x06\xa9\x7c\x0a\x01\x01\xea\x0a\x0a\
    \x05\x55\xc8\xd3\x01\xf6\xe0\x76\x90\x16\xc4\x44\x9b\x5a\x80\x18\
    \xff\xff\x6c\x1c\x00\x00\x01\x01\x08\x0a\x37\xc4\x50\xe2\x00\xba\
    \x7c\x1c\x4d\x6e\x00\x00\x00\x06\xff\x03\x01\xf4\x00\x64";

    let libpcap = LibPcap::open("test.pcap", "w");

    match libpcap {
        Ok(f) => f.write(input),
        Err(e) => println!("[ERROR]: {e:?}"),
    }
}

Capture packet

use libpcap_rs::{Sniff, PResult};


fn main() -> PResult<()> {
    let sniff = Sniff::open("lo")?;

    for pkt in sniff.capture(-1) {
        println!("{pkt:?}");
    }

    Ok(())
}

use libpcap_rs::{Sniff, PResult};


fn main() -> PResult<()> {
    let sniff = Sniff::open("lo")?
        .with_filter("port 80")?
        .with_snaplen(65535)
        .with_immediate_mode(1)
        .with_timeout(0);

    for pkt in sniff.capture(-1) {
        println!("{pkt:?}");
    }

    Ok(())
}

Obtain the first active network port

use libpcap_rs::get_first_iface;


fn main() {
    println!("{:?}", get_first_iface);
}

Obtain active network port list

use libpcap_rs::get_iface_list;


fn main() {
    println!("{:?}", get_iface_list());
}

Using network port send raw packet

use libpcap_rs::send_packet;


fn main() {
    let input = b"\x00\x0c\x29\xaf\x7f\xfe\x10\x9a\xdd\x4e\x06\x0d\x08\x00\x45\x00\
                \x00\x40\xb5\xf2\x00\x00\x40\x06\xa9\x7c\x0a\x01\x01\xea\x0a\x0a\
                \x05\x55\xc8\xd3\x01\xf6\xe0\x76\x90\x16\xc4\x44\x9b\x5a\x80\x18\
                \xff\xff\x6c\x1c\x00\x00\x01\x01\x08\x0a\x37\xc4\x50\xe2\x00\xba\
                \x7c\x1c\x4d\x6e\x00\x00\x00\x06\xff\x03\x01\xf4\x00\x64";
    send_packet("lo", input);
}
