"NetPacket::UDP" - Assemble and disassemble UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packets. use NetPacket::UDP; $udp_obj = NetPacket::UDP->decode($raw_pkt); $udp_pkt = NetPacket::UDP->encode($ip_obj); $udp_data = NetPacket::UDP::strip($raw_pkt); "NetPacket::UDP" provides a set of routines for assembling and disassembling packets using UDP (User Datagram Protocol).

Methods
Decode the raw packet data given and return an object containing instance data. This method will quite happily decode garbage input. It is the responsibility of the programmer to ensure valid packet data is passed to this method. Return a UDP packet encoded with the instance data specified. Needs parts of the IP header contained in $ip_obj, the IP object, in order to calculate the UDP checksum. The length field will also be set automatically.

Functions
Return the encapsulated data (or payload) contained in the UDP packet. This data is suitable to be used as input for other "NetPacket::*" modules. This function is equivalent to creating an object using the "decode()" constructor and returning the "data" field of that object.

Instance data
The instance data for the "NetPacket::UDP" object consists of the following fields. The source UDP port for the datagram. The destination UDP port for the datagram. The length (including length of header) in bytes for this packet. The checksum value for this packet. The encapsulated data (payload) for this packet.

Exports
none udp_strip The following tags group together related exportable items. Import the strip function "udp_strip". All the above exportable items. The following example prints the source IP address and port, the destination IP address and port, and the UDP packet length: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Net::PcapUtils; use NetPacket::Ethernet qw(:strip); use NetPacket::IP; use NetPacket::UDP; sub process_pkt { my($arg, $hdr, $pkt) = @_; my $ip_obj = NetPacket::IP->decode(eth_strip($pkt)); my $udp_obj = NetPacket::UDP->decode($ip_obj->{data}); print("$ip_obj->{src_ip}:$udp_obj->{src_port} -> ", "$ip_obj->{dest_ip}:$udp_obj->{dest_port} ", "$udp_obj->{len}\n"); } Net::PcapUtils::loop(\&process_pkt, FILTER => 'udp'); The following is an example use in combination with Net::Divert to alter the payload of packets that pass through. All occurences of foo will be replaced with bar. This example is easy to test with netcat, but otherwise makes little sense. :) Adapt to your needs: #!/usr/bin/perl use Net::Divert; use NetPacket::IP qw(IP_PROTO_UDP); use NetPacket::UDP; $divobj = Net::Divert->new('yourhost',9999); $divobj->getPackets(\&alterPacket); sub alterPacket { my ($data, $fwtag) = @_; $ip_obj = NetPacket::IP->decode($data); if($ip_obj->{proto} == IP_PROTO_UDP) { # decode the UDP header $udp_obj = NetPacket::UDP->decode($ip_obj->{data}); # replace foo in the payload with bar $udp_obj->{data} =~ s/foo/bar/g; # reencode the packet $ip_obj->{data} = $udp_obj->encode($ip_obj); $data = $ip_obj->encode; } $divobj->putPacket($data,$fwtag); } Copyright (c) 2001 Tim Potter.
