# Pig

``Pig`` (which can be understood as ``P``acket ``i``ntruder ``g``enerator) is a ``Linux`` packet crafting tool.
You can use ``Pig`` to test your ``IDS``/``IPS`` among other stuff.

``Pig`` brings a bunch of well-known attack signatures ready to be used and you can expand this collection
with more specific things according to your requirements.

Until now it is possible to create ``IPv4`` signatures with transport layer based on ``TCP``, ``UDP`` and ``ICMP``.
You can also create signatures based on ``ARP`` protocol, besides building up the packet since its ``Ethernet`` frame.

If you arrived here by my [2600](https://www.2600.com) article from the ``SPRING 2016`` [issue](https://store.2600.com/collections/2010-2015/products/spring-2016)
keep reading the following documentation sections because this little ``Pig`` has been evolving since then.

# How to clone this repo?

It is pretty simple:

```
[email protected]:~/src# git clone https://github.com/rafael-santiago/pig pig
[email protected]:~/src# cd pig
[email protected]:~/src/pig# git submodule update --init
```

# How to build it?

You need to use the [``Hefesto``](https://github.com/rafael-santiago/hefesto) to build ``pig``. After following
the steps to put ``Hefesto`` working on your system. Move to the ``pig`` sub-directory named as ``src`` and run
the following command:

```
[email protected]:~/src/pig/src# hefesto
```

After this command you should find the ``pig`` binary under the path ``src/bin``. You can use the binary relatively from
``src/bin`` or [install it](#how-to-install-it).

If for some reason you are having build troubles you should try to read some remarks present in [``BUILD.md``](https://github.com/rafael-santiago/pig/blob/master/doc/BUILD.md).

# How to install it?

For installing you need to be inside the ``src`` sub-directory and call:

```
[email protected]:~/src/pig/src# hefesto --install
```

For uninstalling, being inside the ``src`` sub-directory you should call:

```
[email protected]:~/src/pig/src# hefesto --uninstall
```

# The pigsty files

``Pigsty files`` are plain text files where you can define a set of packet signatures. There is a specific syntax to be
followed. Look out an example of a pigsty file:

```
[ signature = "Hello",
ip.version = 4,
ip.ihl = 5,
ip.tos = 0,
ip.src = 192.30.70.10,
ip.dst = 192.30.70.3,
ip.protocol = 17,
udp.dst = 1008,
udp.src = 32000,
udp.payload = "Hello!!" ]
```

Basically, all signature data must goes between square brackets: ``[`` ... ``]``.

Inside this area the piece of information is supplied by the scheme ``field = data``.

If you have some experience with Computer Networks is sure that the majority of fields listed on ``Table 1``
have strong meaning for you. You must use these fields to create your further signatures.

**Table 1**: The ``pig`` signature fields.

| **Field** | **Stands for** | **Protocol** | **Data type** | **Sample definition** |

| ``arp.pdst`` | ARP dst proto addr | *ARP* | ip address | ``arp.pdst = 192.30.70.3`` |

When creating a signature you do not need specify all data. If you specify only the most relevant packet parts
the remaining parts will be filled up with default values. The ``checksums`` are **always** recalculated.

Tip: take a look in sub-directory ``pigsty``. You will find lots of signature files and you will see that is
pretty simple define new ones.

## Specifying IP addresses geographically

Yes, it is possible. In order to use this feature you just need to specify the values listed on ``Table 2``
in ``ip adddress`` typed fields.

**Table 2**: IPs by geographic area.

| **Value to use** | **Stands for** |
|:-------------------:|:-------------------------------:|
|``north-american-ip``| IP addresses from North America |
|``south-american-ip``| IP addresses from South America |
| ``asian-ip`` | IP addresses from Asia |
| ``european-ip`` | IP addresses from Europe |

## Specifying my own addresses

You should in any ``ip address`` typed field use ``user-defined-ip`` as value. Note that you need to use the
command line option ``--targets`` in this case. See section [Using pig](#using-pig) for more information.

# Contribute sending more packet signatures

If you create ``pigsty files`` that you judge be relevant beyond your own environment open a pull request in order
to include these useful files here. Thank you in advance!

# Using pig

The ``Pig`` usage is very straightforward being necessary to supply four basic options which are:

- ``--signatures``
- ``--gateway``
- ``--net-mask``
- ``--lo-iface``

Do you want to know more about each option, huh?... So let's go:

- The option ``--signatures`` receives a list of file paths to ``pigsty files``.
- The option ``--gateway`` is where you specify your gateway address. Be aware that ``pig`` generates or at least try to generate the ``ethernet frames`` too. Due to it the gateway address is rather important in order to correctly compose the ``layer-1`` data.
- The option ``--net-mask`` for routing issues must receive your network mask.
- The option ``--lo-iface`` is the place where you should inform the name of the local network interface you will use to "drain out" the generated packets.
- The option ``--no-gateway`` indicates that any packet will send outside the network.

Supposing that we want to generate ``DDos`` based traffic:

```
[email protected]:~# pig --signatures=pigsty/ddos.pigsty\
> --gateway=10.0.2.2\
> --net-mask=255.255.255.0 --lo-iface=eth0
```

Now we want to messing up with everything:

```
[email protected]:~# pig --signatures=pigsty/ddos.pigsty,pigsty/attackresponses.pigsty,\
> pigsty/badtraffic.pigsty,pigsty/backdoors.pigsty\
> --gateway=10.0.2.2 --net-mask=255.255.255.0 --lo-iface=eth0
```

## Extra options

### Defining timeouts between the signature sendings

For it use the option ``--timeout=``

### Echo suppressing

Use the ``--no-echo`` option.

### Defining targets

Use the ``--targets`` option. You can specify a list based on exact IPs, IP masks and [``CIDRs``](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing).

Look this:

```
[email protected]:~# pig --signatures=pigsty/local-mess.pigsty\
> --targets=192.30.70.3,192.30.70.*,192.30.70.0/9\
> --gateway=10.0.2.2\
> --net-mask=255.255.255.0\
> --lo-iface=eth0
```

### Not using the gateway

This is useful when the loaded signatures will not send data outside the current network. In order to flag it you need to use
the option ``--no-gateway``. When the ``--no-gateway`` option is used you do not need to specify the gateway's address
because the packets will not flow outside the current segment. As a result to inform the network mask becomes irrelevant too.

For instance:

```
[email protected]:~# pig --signatures=pigsty/local_traffic.pigsty --no-gateway --lo-iface=eth2
```

In the sample above the ethernet frame will not be a pig's responsibility anymore. For this reason ``pig`` will not complain
about the lack of ``--gateway`` and ``--net-mask`` option.

The ``--no-gateway`` option is rather handy in cases that you need to generate ``ARP`` traffic. Take a look in this another
document explaining how to perform [ARP spoofing with pig](https://github.com/rafael-santiago/pig/blob/master/doc/arp-spoofing-with-pig.md).

### Sending only one signature and going back

Maybe you need to send only one signature and so return to the caller in order to check what happened after. This kind of
requirement is common when you use this application as support for ``system tests`` or ``unit tests``. So, if you need
to do this you should try to use the option ``--single-test``:

```
[email protected]:~# pig --signature=pigsty/syn-scan.pigsty --targets=127.0.0.1 --single-test\
> --gateway=10.0.2.2 --net-mask=255.255.255.0 --lo-iface=eth0
```

After running this command ``pig`` will select only one signature from the file ``syn-scan.pigsty`` and try to send it and then exit.
If some error has occurred during the process ``pig`` will exit with ``exit-code`` equals to ``1`` otherwise ``pig`` will exit
with ``exit-code`` equals to ``0``.

### Specifying the pigsty traverse mode

The basic ``pig's`` operation mode is about an endless ``loop`` which spits tons of packets into the network respecting a
previous defined timeout.

You can define how ``pig`` traverses the loaded packets for sending them using the option ``--loop=``. Until now
the modes are two: ``random`` (the default) and ``sequential``.

The ``sequential`` mode will re-iterate the signatures when it hits the end of the loaded packet signatures list.

### The sub-tasks

Sub-tasks are useful minor tasks related with packet crafting which are shipped into ``pig`` for helping you on
your crafting session. These task can be acessed using the option ``--sub-task=``.

By the fact of practically being sub-programs, the sub-tasks have their own idiosyncrasies and due to it
the details about them follows in their own manual. Take a look at the ``Table 3`` for following up to it.

**Table 3**: The ``pig`` sub-tasks.

| **Sub-task** | **What does it perform?** | **Manual** |
|:---------------------:|:------------------------------------------------------:|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|
| ``pcap-import`` | Imports packet from a PCAP file into a pigsty file | [``cat doc/pcap-import.md``](https://github.com/rafael-santiago/pig/blob/master/doc/pcap-import.md)|
| ``shell`` | Executes pig on interactive mode | [``cat doc/shell.md``](https://github.com/rafael-santiago/pig/blob/master/doc/shell.md) |

## Pig tricks

### From the Ethernet frame to the topmost layer...

Until now you can build up packets based on ``IPv4`` having ``UDP`` or ``TCP`` in their transport layer. You can also build
up ``ARP`` packets.

However, you can still build up packets starting from the ``Ethernet`` frame. The nice thing about it is the possibility
of virtually building up anything above the ``Ethernet's`` payload.

For instance, even ``pig`` until now, does not offering support for cooked ``IPv6`` building up, you can still build
it up using a raw ``Ethernet`` based pigsty. Look:

```
[ eth.hwdst = "5C:AC:4C:AA:F5:B5",
eth.hwsrc = "08:95:2A:AD:D6:4F",
eth.type = 0x86DD,
eth.payload = "\x60\x00\x00\x00\x00\x20\x3a\xff\xfe\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0a\x95\x2a\xff\xfe\xad\xd6\x4f\xfe\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x55\x51\x00\xc2\x18\x0f\xdb\x46\x88\x00\x32\x01\xe0\x00\x00\x00\xfe\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0a\x95\x2a\xff\xfe\xad\xd6\x4f\x02\x01\x08\x95\x2a\xad\xd6\x4f",
signature = "IPv6 from Sparta" ]
```

Taking in consideration that the inclusion of the destination and source ``MAC`` addresses inside an "Ethernet pigsty" is
optional we can get the job done even without using any ``plush field``.

It is nice when you have to test new protocols over your environment among other anomalous funny stuff. On this raw way,
``pig`` can keep itself useful to you.

## Testing pig from scratch

Save the following data as ``"oink.pigsty"``:

```
[ signature = "oink",
ip.version = 4,
ip.ihl = 5,
ip.tos = 0,
ip.src = 127.0.0.1,
ip.dst = user-defined-ip,
ip.protocol = 17,
udp.dst = 1008,
udp.src = 32000,
udp.payload = "Oink!!\n" ]
```

On another ``tty`` run the ``netcat`` in ``UDP mode`` listen for connections on port ``1008``:

```
[email protected]:~# nc -u -l -p 1008
```

Now run ``pig`` using the ``"oink.pigsty"``, informing as target the ``loopback``:

```
[email protected]:~# pig --signatures=oink.pigsty --targets=127.0.0.1\
> --gateway=10.0.2.2 --net-mask=255.255.255.0 --lo-iface=eth0
```

The ``netcat`` should start receiving several ``oinks`` and... yes, congrats!! ``pig`` is up and running on your system! ;)

Try to sniff your Network to get more information about these ``UDP packets`` that are flowing around your interfaces...

Have fun!
