- LIBNET 1.1 (c) 1998 - 2004 Mike D. Schiffman <mike@infonexus.com>
- http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet
-===============================================================================
- 1.3 TODO LIST
-
- - Build with debug memory allocation or dmalloc library
- - http://dmalloc.com/
- - https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Public-Macros.html (AM_WITH_DMALLOC)
-
- - Switch to npcap (win32)
-
- - Take inventory of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/libnet#
-
- - Add automatic tests for `make check`, IPv6 in particular
-
- 1.2 TODO LIST
-
- - change all __WIN32 and __WIN32__ preprocessor directives with the
- more universal WIN32 and _WIN32 directives (msvc + mingw)
- (eliminating the need for -mwin32)
-
- - Improve documentation: FAQ, Examples, adding RFCs
-
- - Fix "broken" samples (on win32?)
-
- - Fix MSVC/Mingw collision
-
- - Increase warning level on all OS's when using `Build` script
-
- 1.1.x TODO LIST
-
- * Update the man page!
-
- - Add a programmer's man page detailing the pblock architecture.
-
- - Fix plist memory leak.
-
- - Fix IPv6. According to RFC 2992:
- "Another difference from IPv4 raw sockets is that complete packets
- (that is, IPv6 packets with extension headers) cannot be read or
- written using the IPv6 raw sockets API. Instead, ancillary data
- objects are used to transfer the extension headers, as described
- later in this document. Should an application need access to the
- complete IPv6 packet, some other technique, such as the datalink
- interfaces BPF or DLPI, must be used.
-
- All fields in the IPv6 header that an application might want to
- change (i.e., everything other than the version number) can be
- modified using ancillary data and/or socket options by the
- application for output. All fields in a received IPv6 header (other
- than the version number and Next Header fields) and all extension
- headers are also made available to the application as ancillary data
- on input. Hence there is no need for a socket option similar to the
- IPv4 IP_HDRINCL socket option."
-
- - Add self-throttling logic to libnet_write()/libnet_init()? Advanced
- mode thing?
-
- - Prune the include list in libnet.h.in. Also add conditionals
- around the headers we use for building the library, but not when
- using it.
-
- - Data marshalling API for unaligned structures (like STP).
-
- - Make cisco ISL work. The issue is that we have build our Ethernet
- frame first, then encapsulate it inside of an ISL envelope.
- - We have to compute CRCs for both Ethernet and ISL.
-
- - Tune advanced interface functionality that allow the application
- programmer to get inside libnet_t.
-
- - Test HPUX 11 port.
-
- - Test cywin32 port.
-
- - Flesh out the advanced mode.
-
- - Consider making a flag for "strict mode" where libnet will check
- things like when you build an IP options list there is an IP
- header preceding it (likewise for TCP)... Other "smart" things
- could happen in this mode too. When in non-strict mode, libnet
- will be less rigid but prone to user-error mode.
-
- - If we have a problem building a header we might end up freeing it
- creating a NULL entry on the list and preventing us from getting to
- entries beyond it (to free or whatever). Maybe we should mark it
- bad or something and rely on the cleanup at the end to free it up?
-
- - Fix checksum support for CDP
-
- - Verify Checksuming:
- Currently verified working on OpenBSD/Linux/Solaris:
- - raw IP/UDP [with and without data]
- - raw IP/TCP [with and without data]
- - raw IP/ICMP [with and without data]
- - raw IP/OSPF
- - hello packet [with no auth data]
- - hello packet [with no auth data and LSA sub-header (LSA check = bad)]
- - link IP/UDP [with and without data]
- - link IP/TCP [with and without data]
-
- - Update the rest of the libnet_link_* files for the new format, already
- ported:
- - bpf [works]
- - linux packet socket [works]
- - linux sock packet [works]
- - dlpi [works]
-
- - Port link stuff to use writev() in libnet_write() (sendto can't hang).
-
- - Get IPsec code working.
-
- - Add the following packet builders:
- - SNMP
-
- - Update __libnet_handle_dump to dump everything in l verbosely.
