QUESTION

Printing HTTP header on terminal

Asked 2020-Sep-26 at 09:42

I am currently creating a packet sniffer using python and pcap. After following this code: https://www.binarytides.com/code-a-packet-sniffer-in-python-with-pcapy-extension/

I am able to parse IP and TCP header to get the values such as source address, port number, etc. I only need HTTP request/response so I filtered out to only keep the ones that have the port number 80.

However, I am really confused on how to print out the actual values of HTTP header. Where and how am I supposed to get the image below to appear on my MacOS terminal?

Thanks in advance.

If you have your HTTP response packet data in http_response_data variable as python bytes type you can get response headers just in one line:

Asked 2017-Dec-19 at 12:49

I started to program a packet sniffer, And I have searched for the correct parameters to pass to socket() function in order to capture packets with their Ethernet header.

I noticed that in this tutorial , In order to recieve the Ethernet header, they changed this line:

The raw socket feature can be set up at different layers of the network stack, in order to allow the kernel do perform some of the work for you at lower levels (eg: ethernet crafting).
The change to GGP protocol might make sense on the website you found the example, but it is ugly to do so and getprotoent() should be used rather than using magic numbers.
Yes you can tweak (filter) how the packet capture will happen. If you want to capture all packets then use ETH_P_ALL:

When protocol is set to htons(ETH_P_ALL) then all protocols are received.

The first thing to understand is that the bits on memory stay exactly the same irrespective of the cast (struct iphdr *). Just that you are now saying that buffer is now to be treated as a pointer to struct iphdr instead of what it was before. You are just telling the compiler to look at the bits with a different pair of glasses and hence interpret accordingly. The compiler suddenly sees that buffer has become a struct iphdr *. And says "OK" that's all. What's important is you know exactly what buffer is and cast it to the proper type.

If you wanted, you could have type-casted buffer to int * (or any other pointer type) and the compiler would have said nothing. Although you would have problems later on.

Scapy has several built-in sniffers, that are really easy to use.
