Introduction

The first idea of writing a packet sniffer program came from a reply to my comments on one of the projects named "NetSend ( Sending popup messenger messages between computers )" by Marc Clifton. Marc asked me "What about receiving message". To say the truth, I didn't know how I could do that. I knew a program which I had downloaded and tested years ago. But I didn't know the way of it. So I made a search on net about programs that can receive messages created by NetSend. And I noticed that many of them were using packet sniffer libraries. And then decided to learn how it is done. My search attempts gave a result and I found a free library named WinPCap.

After previewing the WinPCap source code , my first trial was to write a wrapper class for it. But what I did was not what I expected. And I had no control over the code. So I decided to port the base library of WinPCap named PacketNt.dll to C#. After many weeks and debug trials, I finished it. And then I wrote a new class to make capture process easy. And all these happen, a new class was created, Function. Yes, now I could catch packets from the network card but I wasn't able to display them. Because I had no idea what they meant. My next search was to find a program with free source code that can display packets. Yes, yes, as you guess, I found it. Its name is Etheral. It is really a great program and free.

First I traced the packets captured by Etheral and built some protocols and was able to display them in my test program. And then (after getting the source code of it ), I used the source code to learn the protocol structures. Now my program supports over 15 protocols. My aim is to add all protocols supported by Etheral to my program and to make it available to all of you. At this point, I will be very happy if some of you are interested in this kind of projects, to finish it. I am alone, and to port all protocols to C# is absolutely time consuming and tiring.

Project contents

Pacanal name comes from PACket ANALyzer. It is the main project file which enables to communicate with other classes and to display captured packets. Other classes are shown below:

  • ColumnSorter

    This class enables to sort list view items. The class has the following members:

    • public int CurrentColumn = 0; // Column index to be sorted
    • public int Direction = 0; // 0 : Ascending, 1 : Descending
    • public int ColumnType = 0; 
      // 0 : Integer , 1 : Double , 2 : String
    • public bool CaseSensitivity = true;
    • public bool Enabled = true;

    CurrentColumn defines which column will be used to sort the ListView. Direction enables to sort data from lower to higher or higher to lower. ColumnType defines what format the desired column is. CaseSenitivity enables to sort string data in case order and Enabled helps enabling or disabling the sort method to run.

  • Const

    This class contains protocol related constants and function.

  • DeviceIoCtlh

    This class contains device specific constants and structures.

  • Function

    This class contains all utility functions. It contains variable reading functions, bit decode function, node display function, Win32 API functions, format functions, etc.

  • NtddNDish

    This class contains device specific constants.

  • Packet32

    Wrapper class for Packet32h class. It contains functions for starting and stopping a capture session, loading and saving functions of captured packets, reading and writing function of capture parameters, etc.

  • Packet32h

    This class contains all ported functions of PacketNt.dll of WinPCap library. I also added some functions both to add support for different OS and to extend the use of ported functions.

  • PacketAARP

  • PacketNBDS

    This class contains NetBIOS Datagram Service Protocol parser functions

  • PacketNBNS

    This class contains NetBIOS Name Service Protocol parser functions

  • PacketNBSS

    I tried to make my program like Etheral. So many features are like Etheral's features. Those are as follows:

    • You can limit captured packet to a specified size
    • You can stop capturing when a specified count of packets is reached
    • You can stop capturing when a specified time is reached
    • You can stop capturing when specified bytes is reached
    • You can stop capturing regardless those above
    • You can capture packets in real time mode
    • You can scroll packets list in real time mode
    • You can resolve MAC names
    • You can see the statistic of the captured packets , their percentages in all packets, the running time of the capture process and the total bytes captured
    • You can change the hardware filter as your needs
    • You can change the capture mode
    • You can highlight the protocol data by clicking protocol node in TreeView node
    • You can highlight the protocol data by clicking Hex data display area and then the protocol node will be highlighted
    • You can save all or a selected or all selected packets in the format that Etheral understands
    • You can load a packet file for reviewing
    • You can sort the captured packets as your will
    • You can highlight a node and its corresponding value in the hex data display by clicking the hex data display control
    • You can copy data from hex data. There are two ways to do this
      • Select the node of which its data is being copied and then click the "Copy" item into the "Edit" menu or click the Copy button on the toolbar
      • Click the right button of the mouse when it is over the hex-data display and then click "Select start point" or "Select end point". do this both for the start and stop points. And then later click "Lock the region" and then click "Copy" in the "Edit" menu or on the toolbar

        With those two ways, the selected data as being string will be copied to clipboard into hex format.

    • You can delete a packet by selecting it in the ListView control and then clicking the "Delete selected packet" button on the toolbar
    • You can capture messages sent by NetSend. Use Capture->Capture Net Send
    • You can manually install or remove the npf.sys driver by using "Driver" menu items. Use Driver->Install driver, Driver->Uninstall driver
    • You can enable or disable displaying list view columns. Use Options->Columns options
    • You can change the view of the program by adding transparency to it. Use Options->Transparency options
    • You can view capture statistics whenever you want. Use View->Show statistics, View->Hide statistics

Requirements

To run the code you need to have those below:

  • Windows NT / 2K / XP
  • A PC with an Ethernet card (LOL)
  • NDIS packet capture driver (npf.sys) installed

npf.sys can be downloaded from the site http://winpcap.polito.it/ which is the one I used. But the project zip file contains necessary npf.sys files for both Win NT and Win 2K/XP. If npf.sys hasn't been installed yet, the program will install it for you.
