net.sniff - net.fuzz

This module is a network packet sniffer and fuzzer supporting both BPF syntax and regular expressions for filtering.

It is also able to dissect several major protocols in order to harvest credentials.

Start the packet sniffer.

Stop the packet sniffer.

Print the packet sniffer session configuration and statistics.

Enable fuzzing for every sniffed packet containing the specified layers.

Disable fuzzing.

ParameterDefaultDescription
net.fuzz.layersPayloadComma separated types of layer to fuzz.
net.fuzz.rate1.0Rate in the [0.0,1.0] interval of packets to fuzz.
net.fuzz.ratio0.4Rate in the [0.0,1.0] interval of bytes to fuzz for each packet.
net.fuzz.silentfalseIf true it will not report fuzzed packets.
net.sniff.filternot arpBPF filter for the sniffer.
net.sniff.interfaceInterface to sniff on.
net.sniff.localfalseIf true it will consider packets from/to this computer, otherwise it will skip them.
net.sniff.outputIf set, the sniffer will write captured packets to this pcap file.
net.sniff.regexpIf set, only packets with a payload matching this regular expression will be considered.
net.sniff.sourceIf set, the sniffer will read from this pcap file instead of the current interface.
net.sniff.verbosefalseIf true, every captured and parsed packet will be sent to the events.stream for displaying, otherwise only the ones parsed at the application layer (sni, http, etc).

The local-sniffer.cap caplet will sniff, parse and print all packets on the local machine:

events.clear
set net.sniff.verbose false
set net.sniff.local true
# uncomment to skip ARP and DNS requests
# set net.sniff.filter "not arp and not udp port 53"
net.sniff on

Change 90% of mDNS incoming packets by fuzzing 40% of their payload (will reinject fuzzed packets):

Terminal window
set net.sniff.verbose true
set net.fuzz.rate 0.9
set net.fuzz.ratio 0.4
set net.fuzz.silent false
set net.fuzz.layers Payload
set net.sniff.filter "host 224.0.0.251 and port 5353"
net.fuzz on

Change 100% of WiFi packets by fuzzing 70% of their Dot11InformationElement and Dot11Data layers:

Terminal window
set net.sniff.verbose true
set net.fuzz.rate 1.0
set net.fuzz.ratio 0.7
set net.fuzz.layers Dot11InformationElement, Dot11Data
net.fuzz on
