UDP

A UDP header consists of:

                     1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3
 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
|          Source Port          |       Destination Port        |
+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
|            Length             |           Checksum            |
+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+

  • 16-bit source port (UDP#sport),

  • 16-bit destination port (UDP#dport),

  • 16-bit length (UDP#length),

  • 16-bit checksum (UDP#checksum),

  • and a body (UDP#body).

A UDP header may be built this way:

pg> PacketGen::Header::UDP.new(dport: 53, sport: 65053)
=> ---- PacketGen::Header::UDP ------------------------------------------
             Int16        sport: 65053      (0xfe1d)
             Int16        dport: 53         (0x0035)
             Int16       length: 8          (0x0008)
             Int16     checksum: 0          (0x0000)

A UDP over IP packet may be created this way:

pkt = PacketGen.gen('IP', src: '127.0.0.1', dst: '127.0.0.1').
                add('UDP', dport: 80, sport: 44158, body: 'abcd')
pkt.is?('IP')         # => true
pkt.is?('UDP')        # => true
pkt.udp               # => PacketGen::Header::UDP
pkt.udp.sport         # => 65053
pkt.udp.dport         # => 53
pkt.udp.length        # => Integer
pkt.udp.checksum      # => Integer
pkt.udp.body          # => "abcd"
pkt.body              # => "abcd"

pkt.udp.sport = 44444

checksum and length fields may be computed by Header::UDP#calc_sum and Header::UDP#calc_length respectively. All checksum and length fields from this packet may by computed at once using pkt.calc:

pg> pkt.calc
pg> pkt

                            ihl: 5

              Addr          dst: 127.0.0.1
            String      options: ""
