PacketFu
A library for reading and writing packets to an interface or to a libpcap-formatted file.
It is maintained here.
Setup
To install the gem, type
gem install packetfu
To install from source, type
gem install bundler
git clone https://github.com/packetfu/packetfu.git
cd packetfu
bundle install
Quick Start
The best way to test your installation is by using packetfu-shell, like so
$ rvmsudo ruby examples/packetfu-shell.rb

Once you're a this point, you're in an IRB (aka: REPL) interface when you can start creating and injection packets with PacketFu.
Here's an example of creating a TCPPacket and sending it out on the wire:
2.3.0 :002 > packet = TCPPacket.new(:config => Utils.whoami?)
=> --EthHeader-------------------------------------------
eth_dst ec:08:6b:62:bc:d2 PacketFu::EthMac
eth_src ac:bc:32:85:47:3f PacketFu::EthMac
eth_proto 0x0800 StructFu::Int16
--IPHeader--------------------------------------------
ip_v 4 Integer
ip_hl 5 Integer
ip_tos 0 StructFu::Int8
ip_len 20 StructFu::Int16
ip_id 0x77e4 StructFu::Int16
ip_frag 0 StructFu::Int16
ip_ttl 32 StructFu::Int8
ip_proto 6 StructFu::Int8
ip_sum 0xffff StructFu::Int16
ip_src 192.168.0.100 PacketFu::Octets
ip_dst 0.0.0.0 PacketFu::Octets
--TCPHeader-------------------------------------------
tcp_src 42653 StructFu::Int16
tcp_dst 0 StructFu::Int16
tcp_seq 0x8d65fbbf StructFu::Int32
tcp_ack 0x00000000 StructFu::Int32
tcp_hlen 5 PacketFu::TcpHlen
tcp_reserved 0 PacketFu::TcpReserved
tcp_ecn 0 PacketFu::TcpEcn
tcp_flags ...... PacketFu::TcpFlags
tcp_win 16384 StructFu::Int16
tcp_sum 0x7f29 StructFu::Int16
tcp_urg 0 StructFu::Int16
tcp_opts PacketFu::TcpOptions
2.3.0 :003 > packet.ip_daddr = "8.8.8.8"
=> "8.8.8.8"
2.3.0 :004 > packet.tcp_dst = 53
=> 53
2.3.0 :005 > packet.to_w
=> [1, 1, 54]
Documentation
PacketFu is yard-compatible (as well as sdoc/rdoc, if you prefer). You
can generate local documentation easily with either yard doc .
or
sdoc
, and view doc/index.html with your favored browser. Once that's
done, navigate at the top, and read up on how to create a Packet or
Capture from an interface with show_live or whatever.
Supported Rubies
This project is integrated with travis-ci and is regularly tested to work with the following rubies:

Supported OSs
This project is designed for use on Linux (Ubuntu|RHEL|BSD primarily) and OSX platforms and it is the intention of the PacketFu team to support those OSs to ensure PacketFu runs on them. That said, PacketFu can and has been known to run on Windows as well as other unix-style platforms, but it's not actively supported in the sense that we may help from the community to help fill that gap. If that is something you are interested in helping with, we welcome your support.
