Packet-o-matic (old version)

The below is only applicable to the old version called “packet-o-matic” and not pom-ng !

If you are looking for instructions about pom-ng, see here.

General

Modules

Input modules

The input modules are modules used to capture packets and process them. The following inputs are currently implemented :

  • docsis : Read a DOCSIS stream from a DVB-C or ATSC card
  • pcap : Read packets from a network card or pcap files

Target

The target modules are modules used to process the packets and provide the desired output. The following targets are currently implemented :

  • display : Show packet information
  • dump_payload : Dump raw connection payload into separate files
  • http : Dump content or log HTTP connections
  • inject : Reinject packets on an interface
  • irc : Dump IRC connection into separate files with irssi-like log format
  • msn : Dump MSN conversations and various files
  • null : Does nothing, used for debugging
  • pcap : Save packets into pcap files useable for example by tcpdump and wireshark
  • pop : Dump emails and login information from POP3 connections
  • rtp : Dump VoIP traffic (RTP streams) into wave files
  • tap : Create a virtual interface and send all the packets to it
  • tcpkill : Send TCP RST packets to kill TCP connections
  • tftp : Dump tftp traffic into files

Match

The match modules are modules used to identify the packets content and match fields in their headers. The following match are currently implemented :

  • 80211 : Match wireless 802.11 frames
  • docsis : Match DOCSIS frames
  • docsis_mgmt : Match DOCSIS management frames
  • ethernet : Match ethernet frames
  • icmp : Match ICMP packets
  • icmpv6 : Match ICMPv6 packets
  • ipv4 : Match IPv4 packets commonly known as IP
  • ipv6 : Match IPv6 packets, the next generation of the IP protocol
  • linux_cooked : Match linux_cooked frames that are produced when sniffing special interfaces like PPP interfaces
  • ppi : Match PPI headers (CACE wireless headers)
  • ppp : Match PPP packets
  • pppoe : Match PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) packets
  • prism : Match prism2/AVS wireless headers
  • radiotap : Match radiotap wireless headers
  • rtp : Match RTP packets used in VoIP for both voice and video
  • tcp : Match TCP segments
  • undefined : Used internally to specify that the next layer has an unknown type
  • udp : Match UDP datagrams
  • vlan : Match 802.1Q frames aka VLAN frames

Helper

The helper modules are useful and sometimes mandatory to reassemble some streams. The following helper modules are implemented :

  • docsis : Allow dynamic resizing of the payload in DOCSIS headers
  • ipv4 : Reassemble IPv4 fragments into a single packet
  • ipv6 : Allow dynamic resizing of the payload in IPv6 headers
  • pppoe : Allow dynamic resizing of the payload in PPPoE packets
  • rtp : Perform RTP reordering
  • tcp : Perform TCP reassembly and reordering

Connection tracking

The connection tracking modules (aka conntrack) are used to identify to what connection a packet belongs and to store informations about this connection and retrieve them later.

  • ipv4 : Track IPv4 connections
  • ipv6 : Track IPv6 connections
  • rtp : Track RTP connections
  • udp : Track UDP connections
  • tcp : Track TCP connections

Datastore

The datastore modules allow targets to save data in databases.

  • mysql : Handle MySQL databases
  • postgres : Handle PostgreSQL databases
  • sqlite : Handle SQLite databases
