PACKET.PKT(1)

NAME
packet.pkt - Pkt module

DESCRIPTION
Provides the object for a packet and the string representation of the packet. This object has an attribute for each of the layers in the packet so each layer can be accessed directly instead of going through each layer. To access the nfs layer object you can use 'x.nfs' instead of using 'x.ethernet.ip.tcp.rpc.nfs' which would very cumbersome to use. Also, since NFS can be used with either TCP or UDP it would be harder to to access the nfs object independently or the protocol. Packet object attributes:
    Pkt(
        record = Record information (frame number, etc.)
        ethernet = ETHERNET II (RFC 894) object
        ip = IPv4 object
        tcp = TCP object
        rpc = RPC object
        nfs = NFS object
    )

Packet object Usage:
    from packet.pkt import Pkt
    x = Pkt()

Methods defined here:
---------------------

__str__(self)
    String representation of object The representation depends on the verbose level set by debug_repr(). If set to 0 the generic object representation is returned. If set to 1 the representation of is condensed into a single line. It contains, the frame number, IP source and destination and/or the last layer:
        '1 0.386615 192.168.0.62 -> 192.168.0.17 TCP 2049 -> 708, seq: 3395733180, ack: 3294169773, ACK,SYN'
        '5 0.530957 00:0c:29:54:09:ef -> ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, type: 0x806'
        '19 0.434370 192.168.0.17 -> 192.168.0.62 NFS v4 COMPOUND4 call SEQUENCE;PUTFH;GETATTR' If set to 2 the representation of the object is a line for each layer:
        'Pkt(
             RECORD: frame 19 @ 0.434370 secs, 238 bytes on wire, 238 bytes captured
             ETHERNET: 00:0c:29:54:09:ef -> e4:ce:8f:58:9f:f4, type: 0x800(IPv4)
             IP: 192.168.0.17 -> 192.168.0.62, protocol: 6(TCP), len: 224
             TCP: src port 708 -> dst port 2049, seq: 3294170673, ack: 3395734137, len: 172, flags: ACK,PSH
             RPC: CALL(0), program: 100003, version: 4, procedure: 1, xid: 0x1437d3d5
             NFS: COMPOUND4args(tag='', minorversion=1, argarray=[nfs_argop4(argop=OP_SEQUENCE, ...), ...])
         )'
