How to use packet injection with mac80211
|
||
|
|
=========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mac80211 now allows arbitrary packets to be injected down any Monitor Mode
|
||
|
|
interface from userland. The packet you inject needs to be composed in the
|
||
|
|
following format:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[ radiotap header ]
|
||
|
|
[ ieee80211 header ]
|
||
|
|
[ payload ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The radiotap format is discussed in
|
||
|
|
./Documentation/networking/radiotap-headers.txt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Despite 13 radiotap argument types are currently defined, most only make sense
|
||
|
|
to appear on received packets. Currently three kinds of argument are used by
|
||
|
|
the injection code, although it knows to skip any other arguments that are
|
||
|
|
present (facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE - u8 arg in 500kbps units (0x02 --> 1Mbps)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_ANTENNA - u8 arg, 0x00 = ant1, 0x01 = ant2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_TX_POWER - u8 arg, dBm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is an example valid radiotap header defining these three parameters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0x00, 0x00, // <-- radiotap version
|
||
|
|
0x0b, 0x00, // <- radiotap header length
|
||
|
|
0x04, 0x0c, 0x00, 0x00, // <-- bitmap
|
||
|
|
0x6c, // <-- rate
|
||
|
|
0x0c, //<-- tx power
|
||
|
|
0x01 //<-- antenna
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ieee80211 header follows immediately afterwards, looking for example like
|
||
|
|
this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0x08, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00,
|
||
|
|
0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
|
||
|
|
0x13, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66,
|
||
|
|
0x13, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66,
|
||
|
|
0x10, 0x86
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then lastly there is the payload.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After composing the packet contents, it is sent by send()-ing it to a logical
|
||
|
|
mac80211 interface that is in Monitor mode. Libpcap can also be used,
|
||
|
|
(which is easier than doing the work to bind the socket to the right
|
||
|
|
interface), along the following lines:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ppcap = pcap_open_live(szInterfaceName, 800, 1, 20, szErrbuf);
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
r = pcap_inject(ppcap, u8aSendBuffer, nLength);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
