Packet Sniffing Preetam Jinka (@preetamjinka) beCamp 2014 Intro to
Code examples https://github.com/PreetamJinka/packet-sniffing
Background What’s a socket? What’s a packet?
Background What’s a socket? They’re basically channels for packets to
travel across. What’s a packet? The fundamental unit of data in networking. A chunk of bytes, perhaps.
None
• Datagram (e.g. UDP) • Stream (e.g. TCP) • Raw
◦ “It’s RAW!” Types of sockets
The socket() syscall “ socket() creates an endpoint for communication
and returns a descriptor. int socket(int domain, int type, int protocol); ”
TCP and UDP are complicated, right? • TCP ◦ Stateful
◦ Connections ◦ Ports • UDP ◦ Stateless ◦ Ports
None
Abstractions make sockets simpler. Your programming environment takes care of
setting up sockets. You just have to send data. The packets are constructed for you (by the OS).
TCP sockets in Node.js var net = require('net'); var server
= net.createServer(function (socket) { socket.write('Echo server\r\n'); socket.pipe(socket); }); server.listen(1337, '127.0.0.1');
When a socket is bound to an address:port, it only
receives data sent to that address:port. The kernel manages that for you.
Let’s rip away the abstractions. Make things RAW!
Let’s make a RAW socket (in Go). Demo #1.
What are we seeing?
Protocol decoding It’s protocols all the way down! (Interesting computer
science problems.)
Applications
Applications
Let’s decode ethernet (and others) Demo #2.
Issue #1 We see everything, but we don’t want to.
Solution? Filter.
Filtering
Let’s filter by a port. Demo #3.
Payloads We’ve only been looking at headers. Let’s read the
rest of the packet.
TCP Payloads Demo #4.
What else can we do? Look at TCP flags. SYN
but not ACK => connection opened FIN and ACK => connection closed
Caveats We’re not considering connection states. SSL/TLS? Resource utilization (how
fast can we sniff?)
Caveats We’re not considering connection states. SSL/TLS? Resource utilization (how
fast can we sniff?) If you’re not reading from the socket fast enough, the kernel buffer fills up and it will drop packets.
Technique: sampling If you only want a representative sample, pick
1 in N packets. Ignore the rest. Upside: monitor lots of network traffic Downside: not accurate (See me if you want to learn about sFlow)
Sampling demo “topflows” https://github.com/PreetamJinka/flowtools/tree/master/topflows Very easy to turn this into
a DDoS detector.
More fun ideas You can read from raw sockets, but
you can also write to raw sockets. Construct your own Ethernet, IP, and TCP/UDP packets! Write your own protocol on top of IPv4/IPv6!
