Packet sniffer in python using pcapy impacket - python

I'm trying to create a packet sniffer using pcapy and impacket. I'm stuck with data extraction phase. Unfortunately impacket is not properly documented. At least i could n't find one. Could anyone tel me where to find the documentation or what functions i could use to extract data from captured packet?
edit
my current code
import datetime
import pcapy
import sys
from impacket.ImpactPacket import *
from impacket.ImpactDecoder import *
def main(argv):
dev='ppp0'
print "Sniffing device " + dev
cap = pcapy.open_live(dev , 65536 , 1 , 0)
while(1) :
try:
(header, packet) = cap.next()
eth= LinuxSLLDecoder().decode(packet)
ip=eth.child() #internet layer
trans=ip.child()#transport layer
try:
print 'protocol=',
if ip.get_ip_p() == UDP.protocol:
print 'UDP'
if ip.get_ip_p() == TCP.protocol:
print 'TCP','port=',trans.get_th_dport()
print trans.child()
if ip.get_ip_p() == ICMP.protocol:
print 'ICMP'
print 'src=',ip.get_ip_src(),'dest=',ip.get_ip_dst()
print ''
except:
pass
except pcapy.PcapError:
continue
if __name__ == "__main__":
main(sys.argv)
Sample Output

What i want to do is extract more data, For example extract the url (if there is a url in packet)

Here is an example for a syn-port scanner with pcap and python and impacket.
Maybe you can tak the important parts out of it.
'''
synscan.py ...
see scan.py for parameters
this works extremely well an a windows that likes to communicate
scanning hosts in same ethernet is possible
scanning host not within the same ethernet may success but does not need to
many algorithms were tried
- raw socket support needs higher previleges
and is impossible because windows does not allow to sniff with them
or to submit sniffable packets
-> not implemented here
"Why do you need special libraries for TCP-SYN scans?"
thats why.
using pcap the program is devided into phases
usually it succeeds in phase 1.
phase 0:
add targets and phase 1
phase 1+: (parallel)
send arp request to resolve target
bombard it with the right packets
sniff
phase 2:
send out udp to resolve mac address by sniffing
send out raw socket tcp syn requests (need higher previleges) optional
phase 3:
if not yet succeeded in phase 1: = mac not found
bombard all macs with packets
phase 4:
bombard broadcasting [mac ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff] with packets
phase 5:
clean up - no use
use DEBUG_PHASE to show phases
currently only ipv4 is supported

I ran into similar problem. I guess when there is no documentation, the best documentation is the source code! And with python we are lucky to have source code most of the time. Anyway, I would suggest looking into ImpactDecoder.py and ImpactPacket.py. First one give some insights as far as how packets get decoded and second gives information on actual packets as a class and their methods. For instance, ImpactPacket.py and class PacketBuffer has following methods that you were probably looking for::
def set_bytes_from_string(self, data):
"Sets the value of the packet buffer from the string 'data'"
self.__bytes = array.array('B', data)
def get_buffer_as_string(self):
"Returns the packet buffer as a string object"
return self.__bytes.tostring()
def get_bytes(self):
"Returns the packet buffer as an array"
return self.__bytes
def set_bytes(self, bytes):
"Set the packet buffer from an array"
# Make a copy to be safe
self.__bytes = array.array('B', bytes.tolist())
def set_byte(self, index, value):
"Set byte at 'index' to 'value'"
index = self.__validate_index(index, 1)
self.__bytes[index] = value
def get_byte(self, index):
"Return byte at 'index'"
index = self.__validate_index(index, 1)
return self.__bytes[index]
def set_word(self, index, value, order = '!'):
"Set 2-byte word at 'index' to 'value'. See struct module's documentation to understand the meaning of 'order'."
index = self.__validate_index(index, 2)
ary = array.array("B", struct.pack(order + 'H', value))
if -2 == index:
self.__bytes[index:] = ary
else:
self.__bytes[index:index+2] = ary
def get_word(self, index, order = '!'):
"Return 2-byte word at 'index'. See struct module's documentation to understand the meaning of 'order'."
index = self.__validate_index(index, 2)
if -2 == index:
bytes = self.__bytes[index:]
else:
bytes = self.__bytes[index:index+2]
(value,) = struct.unpack(order + 'H', bytes.tostring())
return value
def set_long(self, index, value, order = '!'):
"Set 4-byte 'value' at 'index'. See struct module's documentation to understand the meaning of 'order'."
index = self.__validate_index(index, 4)
ary = array.array("B", struct.pack(order + 'L', value))
if -4 == index:
self.__bytes[index:] = ary
else:
self.__bytes[index:index+4] = ary
def get_long(self, index, order = '!'):
"Return 4-byte value at 'index'. See struct module's documentation to understand the meaning of 'order'."
index = self.__validate_index(index, 4)
if -4 == index:
bytes = self.__bytes[index:]
else:
bytes = self.__bytes[index:index+4]
(value,) = struct.unpack(order + 'L', bytes.tostring())
return value
def set_long_long(self, index, value, order = '!'):
"Set 8-byte 'value' at 'index'. See struct module's documentation to understand the meaning of 'order'."
index = self.__validate_index(index, 8)
ary = array.array("B", struct.pack(order + 'Q', value))
if -8 == index:
self.__bytes[index:] = ary
else:
self.__bytes[index:index+8] = ary
def get_long_long(self, index, order = '!'):
"Return 8-byte value at 'index'. See struct module's documentation to understand the meaning of 'order'."
index = self.__validate_index(index, 8)
if -8 == index:
bytes = self.__bytes[index:]
else:
bytes = self.__bytes[index:index+8]
(value,) = struct.unpack(order + 'Q', bytes.tostring())
return value
def get_ip_address(self, index):
"Return 4-byte value at 'index' as an IP string"
index = self.__validate_index(index, 4)
if -4 == index:
bytes = self.__bytes[index:]
else:
bytes = self.__bytes[index:index+4]
return socket.inet_ntoa(bytes.tostring())
def set_ip_address(self, index, ip_string):
"Set 4-byte value at 'index' from 'ip_string'"
index = self.__validate_index(index, 4)
raw = socket.inet_aton(ip_string)
(b1,b2,b3,b4) = struct.unpack("BBBB", raw)
self.set_byte(index, b1)
self.set_byte(index + 1, b2)
self.set_byte(index + 2, b3)
self.set_byte(index + 3, b4)
The other super useful class from ImpactPacket.py is ProtocolLayer, that gives us following methods::
def child(self):
"Return the child of this protocol layer"
return self.__child
def parent(self):
"Return the parent of this protocol layer"
return self.__parent
So, basically impacket uses matreshka doll approach, and you can go to any layer you want using child and parent methods and use any methods of the PacketBuffer class on any layer. Pretty cool, huh? Furthermore, particular layers (or packets) have their specific methods but you would have to go dig ImpactPacket.py and ImpactDecoder.py if you want to find more about those.
Good luck and cheers mate!

Threaded Python script only seems to work as expected after signaling keyboard interrupt?

Basically, I have a script that sniffs packets in one thread, and appends them to a list. A second thread also runs, and if the list is not empty, then it will perform calculations with the data. However, the sniffing thread only seems to work properly after hitting Ctrl + C. Before sending the keyboard interrupt, console output that I've produced for debugging is very slow and it seems to be missing packets. Afterwards hitting Ctrl + C it runs much faster and works as expected. Any ideas why this might be occurring? My code would look something similar to what is below.
Packet sniffer:
import socket, sys
from struct import *
def eth_addr(a):
#create a AF_PACKET type raw socket (thats basically packet level)
#define ETH_P_ALL 0x0003 /* Every packet (be careful!!!) */
try:
s = socket.socket( socket.AF_PACKET , socket.SOCK_RAW , socket.ntohs(0x0003))
except socket.error , msg:
print 'Socket could not be created. Error Code : ' + str(msg[0]) + ' Message ' + msg[1]
sys.exit()
def packet_sniff():
# receive a packet
while True:
packet = s.recvfrom(65565)
#packet string from tuple
packet = packet[0]
#parse ethernet header
eth_length = 14
eth_header = packet[:eth_length]
eth = unpack('!6s6sH' , eth_header)
eth_protocol = socket.ntohs(eth[2])
print 'Destination MAC : ' + eth_addr(packet[0:6]) + ' Source MAC : ' + eth_addr(packet[6:12]) + ' Protocol : ' + str(eth_protocol)
#TCP protocol
if protocol == 6 :
t = iph_length + eth_length
tcp_header = packet[t:t+20]
#now unpack them
tcph = unpack('!HHLLBBHHH' , tcp_header)
source_port = tcph[0]
dest_port = tcph[1]
sequence = tcph[2]
acknowledgement = tcph[3]
doff_reserved = tcph[4]
tcph_length = doff_reserved >> 4
print 'Source Port : ' + str(source_port) + ' Dest Port : ' + str(dest_port) + ' Sequence Number : ' + str(sequence) + ' Acknowledgement : ' + str(acknowledgement) + ' TCP header length : ' + str(tcph_length)
h_size = eth_length + iph_length + tcph_length * 4
data_size = len(packet) - h_size
#get data from the packet
data = packet[h_size:]
return data
Main would look something roughly like this:
def run_program():
processThread1 = threading.Thread(target = self.sniff_data, args = [])
processThread2 = threading.Thread(target = self.process_data, args = [])
processThread1.start()
processThread2.start()
def sniff_data():
global my_list
while True:
data = packet_sniff()
my_list.append(data)
def process_data():
global my_list
while True:
if len(my_list) != 0:
# Do computation
my_list = []
run_program()
if len(my_list) != 0: with no sleep run infinitely can and will lock the interpreter, preventing other threads from changing my_list. That needs to go.

Network function to filter/drop packets

I'm trying to implement a stateless network function in python that will sniff incoming packets and then decide if they are "good" packets or "bad" ones.
If they are "good" I want the program to forward the packets (to another network/IP), and if they are bad I want to drop them.
I already have the sniffing part working but I've been really struggling to make the rest of the function to work.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

My scapy sniffer does not work?

I have written a program that collects data from packets in iterations. Until a couple of days ago it worked fine.
EDIT: SOLVED. I saved IP as a constant and it overwrote IP.
from scapy.all import *
import requests
import socket
ROUND = 2
IP = 'localhost'
PORT = 80
SERVER_ADDRESS = (IP,PORT)
def get_packet_size(packet):
return len(packet)
def find_port(packet,ip):
if packet[IP].dst == ip:
if TCP in packet:
return packet[TCP].sport
else:
return packet[UDP].sport
else:
if UDP in packet:
return packet[TCP].dport
else:
return packet[UDP].dport
def check_traffic(packet , ip):
if packet[IP].dst == ip:
return False
else:
return True
def find_country(packet, ip):
request = "http://freegeoip.net/json/"+ip
response = requests.get(request)
real_response = response.text
real_response = real_response.split(",")
country_full = real_response[2]
country_full = country_full.split(":")
country = country_full[1]
country = country[1:len(country) - 1]
print(country)
return str(country)
def find_ip(packet):
name = socket.gethostname()
ip_of_agent = socket.gethostbyname(name)
if(packet[IP].dst != ip_of_agent):
return packet[IP].dst
else:
return packet[IP].src
def work_on_packets(packets):
packet_dic = {}
#ip_dic = []
i = 0 # num of packet in iteration.
for packet in packets:
print("\n")
packet_ip = find_ip(packet)
print(packet_ip)
country = find_country(packet,packet_ip)
print(country)
is_coming_traffic = check_traffic(packet,packet_ip) # True if coming , False if outer traffic.
port = find_port(packet,packet_ip)
print(port)
packet_size = get_packet_size(packet)
print(packet_size)
packet_dic["Packet "+str(i)] = [packet_ip,country,is_coming_traffic,port,packet_size]
i = i + 1
#send_data(packet_dic)
def is_IP(packet):
return ((UDP in packet or TCP in packet) and IP in packet)
def main():
print("Starting sniff..")
while(True):
packets = sniff(lfilter = is_IP )
work_on_packets(packets)
main()
But right now it just doesn't work. The output is always like this,nothing more:
WARNING: No route found for IPv6 destination :: (no default route?). This affects only IPv6
Starting sniff..
What could be the problem behind it? any help is great!
It's just a warning telling you that you don;t have any default routes for IPV6 and is totally normal for systems that do not have IPV6. This should not affect your program for IPV4 packets.
Here's how you can disable it

packet = ip_header + tcp_header
s.sendto(packet, (dest_ip , 8888 ))
s.recvfrom(1024) # Here is recevfrom hangs
The programm hangs on recvfrom(). What to do, What is the reason of this issue ?
Actually the server send ACK packet. It can be seen in wireshark
Here is Wireshark log
The problem lays here: s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.IPPROTO_RAW), the raw(7) man page says:
A protocol of IPPROTO_RAW implies enabled IP_HDRINCL and is able to
send any IP protocol that is specified in the passed header.
Receiving of all IP protocols via IPPROTO_RAW is not possible using raw
sockets. When a packet is received, it is passed to any raw sockets which have
been bound to its protocol before it is passed to other protocol handlers
(e.g., kernel protocol modules).
An IPPROTO_RAW socket is send only.
use s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.IPPROTO_TCP)
instead and enable IP_HDRINCL socket option to use your own ip header:
s.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.IP_HDRINCL, 1)
