My first scapied IPv6 packet

atlink'admin December 24, 2018 in IPv6, Network, Programming Tagged , , - 17 Minutes

The idea of this lab is to craft an IPv6 packet from scratch using Python and Scapy library.

The IDE I use is JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition 2018.3.1 x64 which is available for free at : https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/download-thanks.html?platform=windows&code=PCC

The IDE interface looks like in figure:

You’ll need to add Scapy library in Project Interpreter section (File->Settings):

In my lab setup I use GN3 Version 2.1.11 x64 with Python 3.6.6 Qt 5.9.1 and PyQt 5.9.

R1 connects to real world (PC-2, my workstation running Windows 7 Professional SP1) through Switch-1. PC-2 “test” interface is a VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter.

R1, R2 and R3 interfaces are in OSPF domain area 0.

We check that routing is working and PC-1 can ping PC-2:

We concentrate on the packets, especially L2 headers information, sent by PC-2 to build our packet in Scapy:

from scapy.all import *

# build L2 headers
L2 = Ether()
L2.src = '0a:00:27:00:00:1c'
L2.dst = 'ca:01:1f:08:00:00'
L2.type = 0x86dd

# build L3 headers
base = IPv6(hlim=128)
base.dst = '2001:4::1'
base.src = '2001:1::1'

# build Protocol and payload part
payload = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghi'
prot = ICMPv6EchoRequest(data=payload, id=0x0001, seq=0x0001)

# build the whole packet
pack = L2 / base / prot
pack.show2()
for i in range(15):
sendp(pack, iface='VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter', verbose=conf.verb, count=1)
time.sleep(1)

The processing steps of the script is depicted in Run tab:

Let’s generate the same packet with Scapy and see how the networks react.

In the previous code these changes need to be made:

from scapy.all import *

# build L2 headers
L2 = Ether()
L2.src = '0a:00:27:00:00:1c'
L2.dst = 'ca:01:1f:08:00:00'
L2.type = 0x86dd

# build L3 headers
base = IPv6(hlim=128)
base.dst = '2001:4::1'
base.src = '2001:1::1'

ext=IPv6ExtHdrHopByHop(nh=58, len=0, options=RouterAlert())

# build Protocol and payload part
payload = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghi'
prot = ICMPv6EchoRequest(data=payload, id=0x0001, seq=0x0001)

# build the whole packet
pack = L2 / base / ext / prot
pack.show2()
for i in range(15):
sendp(pack, iface='VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter', verbose=conf.verb, count=1)
time.sleep(1)

The obtained packet is compared with the one generated by Windows 10 Professional ping utility:
