# pcap.cr [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/maiha/pcap.cr.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/maiha/pcap.cr)

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: 0.31.1 0.32.1 0.33.0 0.34.0
- 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.

```crystal
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.

```crystal
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.

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

## Installation

Add this to your application's `shard.yml`:

```yaml
dependencies:
pcap:
github: maiha/pcap.cr
version: 0.6.1
```
And then

```console
$ shards update
```

## Example applications

#### `filtertest`

Test a string of `pcap-filter`.

```console
$ 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)

```console
$ 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`

```
12:29:01.445261 IP 127.0.0.1.56016 > 127.0.0.1.80: Flags [S], seq 746220255, win 43690, length 0
12:29:01.445282 IP 127.0.0.1.80 > 127.0.0.1.56016: Flags [SA], seq 4032610561, ack 746220256, win 43690, length 0
```

##### further output

- `-x` prints hexdump of packets

```console
$ tcpsniffer -x
12:30:12.305080 IP 127.0.0.1.56018 > 127.0.0.1.80: Flags [S], seq 4253528483, win 43690, length 0

```

- `-v` prints packet structures (calls `inspect` internally)

```console
$ tcpsniffer -v
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Packet Header

```

- `-d` prints only packets where tcp data exist
- `-b` prints body oriented format (body mode)
- `-x` ignore all packets that contain only white spaces

```console
$ tcpsniffer -b -d
17:12:24.261729: "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nUser-Agent: curl/7.47.0\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n"
17:12:24.262003: "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nServer: nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu)\r\nDate: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 ...
```

- `-W DIR` writes each tcp data by file in the DIR

```console
$ tcpsniffer -p 6379 -d -W pcap
16:37:03.683540 IP 127.0.0.1.52182 > 127.0.0.1.6379: Flags [PA], seq 3176296709, ack 3372892385, win 342, length 14
16:37:03.683611 IP 127.0.0.1.6379 > 127.0.0.1.52182: Flags [PA], seq 3372892385, ack 3176296723, win 342, length 7

$ redis-cli ping
PONG

$ ls -l pcap
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 Mar 6 16:37 1.pcap
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7 Mar 6 16:37 2.pcap

$ hd pcap/1.pcap
00000000 2a 31 0d 0a 24 34 0d 0a 50 49 4e 47 0d 0a |*1..$4..PING..|

$ hd pcap/2.pcap
00000000 2b 50 4f 4e 47 0d 0a |+PONG..|
00000007
```

##### replay

- `-r file` reads from pcap file (same as `tcpdump -r`)

```console
# record packets by root with tcpdump
$ tcpdump -i lo -s 0 -w /tmp/redis.dump 'port 6379'

# in other shell
$ redis-cli ping

# stop tcpdump by `Ctl-c`

# reply by tcpsniffer
$ tcpsniffer -r /tmp/redis.dump -p 6379 -b -d
reading from file: /tmp/redis.dump
11:47:14.001208: "*1\r\n$4\r\nping\r\n"
11:47:14.001569: "+PONG\r\n"
```
