NAME

"NetPacket::ARP" - Assemble and disassemble ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) packets.

VERSION

version 0.43.1

SYNOPSIS

   use NetPacket::ARP;
 
   $tcp_obj = NetPacket::ARP->decode($raw_pkt);
   $tcp_pkt = NetPacket::ARP->encode(params...);   # Not implemented

DESCRIPTION

"NetPacket::ARP" provides a set of routines for assembling and disassembling packets using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol).

Methods

"NetPacket::ARP->decode([RAW PACKET])"
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.
"NetPacket::ARP->encode(param => value)"
Return a ARP packet encoded with the instance data specified. Not implemented.

Functions

"NetPacket::ARP::strip([RAW PACKET])"
Return the encapsulated data (or payload) contained in the TCP packet. Since no payload data is encapulated in an ARP packet (only instance data), this function returns undef.

Instance data

The instance data for the "NetPacket::ARP" object consists of the following fields.
htype
Hardware type.
proto
Protocol type.
hlen
Header length.
plen
Protocol length.
opcode
One of the following constants:
•
ARP_OPCODE_REQUEST
•
ARP_OPCODE_REPLY
•
RARP_OPCODE_REQUEST
•
RARP_OPCODE_REPLY
sha
Source hardware address.
spa
Source protocol address.
tha
Target hardware address.
tpa
Target protocol address.

EXAMPLE

Print out arp requests on the local network. 
   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
   use Net::PcapUtils;
   use NetPacket::Ethernet qw(:types);
   use NetPacket::ARP;
 
   sub process_pkt {
     my ($arg, $hdr, $pkt) = @_;
 
     my $eth_obj = NetPacket::Ethernet->decode($pkt);
 
     if ($eth_obj->{type} == ETH_TYPE_ARP) {
         my $arp_obj = NetPacket::ARP->decode($eth_obj->{data}, $eth_obj);
         print("source hw addr=$arp_obj->{sha}, " .
               "dest hw addr=$arp_obj->{tha}\n");
     }
   }

Net::PcapUtils::loop(\&process_pkt);

TODO

Implement encode() function
Does this work for protocols other than IP? Need to read RFC.
Example is a bit silly
