NAME

Net::Frame - the base framework for frame crafting

SYNOPSIS

# Basic example, send a TCP SYN to a target, using all modules
# the framework comprises. It also waits for the response, and 
# prints it.

my $target = '192.168.0.1';
my $port   = 22;

use Net::Frame::Device;
use Net::Write::Layer3;
use Net::Frame::Simple;
use Net::Frame::Dump::Online;

use Net::Frame::Layer::IPv4;
use Net::Frame::Layer::TCP;

my $oDevice = Net::Frame::Device->new(target => $target);

my $ip4 = Net::Frame::Layer::IPv4->new(
   src => $oDevice->ip,
   dst => $target,
);
my $tcp = Net::Frame::Layer::TCP->new(
   dst     => $port,
   options => "\x02\x04\x54\x0b",
   payload => 'test',
);
my $oWrite = Net::Write::Layer3->new(dst => $target);

my $oDump = Net::Frame::Dump::Online->new(dev => $oDevice->dev);
$oDump->start;

my $oSimple = Net::Frame::Simple->new(
   layers => [ $ip4, $tcp ],
);
$oWrite->open;
$oSimple->send($oWrite);
$oWrite->close;

until ($oDump->timeout) {
   if (my $recv = $oSimple->recv($oDump)) {
      print "RECV:\n".$recv->print."\n";
      last;
   }
}

$oDump->stop;

DESCRIPTION

Net::Frame is a fork of Net::Packet. The goal here was to greatly simplify the use of the frame crafting framework. Net::Packet does many things undercover, and it was difficult to document all the thingies.

Also, Net::Packet may suffer from unease of use, because frames were assembled using layers stored in L2, L3, L4 and L7 attributes. Net::Frame removes all this, and is splitted in different modules, for those who only want to use part of the framework, and not whole framework.

Finally, anyone can create a layer, and put it on his CPAN space, because of the modularity Net::Frame offers. For an example, see Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv4 on my CPAN space.

Net::Frame does ship with basic layers, to start playing.
