BPF program is not valid - pcap sniffing - pcap

Hey everyone I'm trying to sniff packets using the pcap library. I have just one problem that I can not figure out: ERROR: BPF program is not valid.
I'm trying to start the sniffing but this error is blocking me I searched on the web and found nothing.
My code is based after this program: https://github.com/levans248/packetSniffingAndSpoofing/blob/master/sniff.c
It is due to SEED labs I know people do not help when it is homework but I just need to figure why this is happening I have no clue.
#include <pcap.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
void got_packet(u_char *args, const struct pcap_pkthdr *header, const u_char *packet)
{
printf("Got a packet \n");
}
int main()
{
pcap_t *handle;
char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
struct bpf_program fp;
char filter_exp[] = "ip proto icmp";
bpf_u_int32 net;
// Open live pcap session
handle = pcap_open_live("enp0s3", BUFSIZ, 1, 1000, errbuf);
// Compile Filter into the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF)
pcap_compile(handle, &fp, filter_exp, 0, net);
if (pcap_setfilter(handle, &fp) == -1)
{
pcap_perror(handle, "ERROR");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
// Sniffing..
pcap_loop(handle, -1, got_packet, NULL);
pcap_close(handle);
return 0;
}

There was a SYNTAX mistake in the filter_exp ,
I was working on C-Shell so was needed to change to ip proto \icmp
Thank you very much everyone !

TCP_FASTOPEN undeclared

I'm coding a small server that uses TCP Fast Open option through setsockopt(). However I am getting this error from gcc :
$gcc server.c
server.c: In function 'main':
server.c:35:34: error: 'TCP_FASTOPEN' undeclared (first use in this function)
if (setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_FASTOPEN, &qlen, sizeof(qlen) == -1)
Here is the server's code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/ip.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
short port = 45000;
int max_conn = 10;
int fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (fd == -1)
{
printf("Couldn't create socket: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
struct sockaddr_in ssi;
ssi.sin_family = AF_INET;
ssi.sin_port = htons(port);
ssi.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&ssi, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)) != 0)
{
printf("Couldn't bind socket: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
// TFO
int qlen = 5;
if (setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_FASTOPEN, &qlen, sizeof(qlen)) == -1)
{
printf("Couldn't set TCP_FASTOPEN option: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
if (listen(fd, max_conn) != 0)
{

return -1;
}
struct sockaddr_in csi;
int clen = sizeof(csi);
int cfd = accept(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&csi, &clen);
return 0;
}
Why does gcc gives this error?
The macro TCP_FASTOPEN is located in include/uapi/linux/tcp.h in the kernel and its value is 23 so I tried to redefine it in my code, then it does compile and run but the option is not sent by the server as an answer to a TFO request (in the SYN-ACK).
Does anybody knows why? Is this related to the compilation issue?
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen needs to be set to 2 to enable server-side use of TCP fast open option:
The tcp_fastopen file can be used to view or set a value that enables the operation of different parts of the TFO functionality. Setting bit 0 (i.e., the value 1) in this value enables client TFO functionality, so that applications can request TFO cookies. Setting bit 1 (i.e., the value 2) enables server TFO functionality, so that server TCPs can generate TFO cookies in response to requests from clients. (Thus, the value 3 would enable both client and server TFO functionality on the host.)
Also, TCP_FASTOPEN macro needs to be included with #include <netinet/tcp.h>.
Looks like your glibc doesn't have support for TCP_FASTOPEN - even if your keernel has (since it's not available when you include standard socket headers). So you can't really use it using glibc glue code (of which setsockopt() is part of).

Because TCP provides a stream of bytes, before you can send something over a TCP socket, you must compose the exact bytes you want to send. Your use of sizeof is incorrect. The sizeof function tells you how many bytes are needed on your system to store the particular type. This bears no relationship to the number of bytes the data will require over the TCP connection which depends on the particular protocol layered on top of TCP you are implementing which must specify how data is to be sent at the byte level.
like david already said, you got the length wrong. sizeof() won't help, what you want is probably
frame.total() * frame.channels()
you can't send a Mat object, but you can send the pixels ( the data pointer ) , so this would be:
send(sock, frame.data,frame.total() * frame.channels(), 0)
but still a bad idea. sending uncompressed pixels over the netwotrk ? bahh.
please look at imencode/imdecode
i'm pretty sure, you got the client / server roles in reverse here.
usually the server holds the information to retrieve ( the webcam ), and the client connects to that
and requests an image.

Invalid argument in sendto when using interface name to set IP_MULTICAST_IF

I am writing a small program that sends and receive multicast packets.I need to set the outgoing interface with its name (e.g. eth0) rather than its address. Therefore I have to use struct ip_mreqn (rather than struct in_addr) so that I could use its imr_ifindex field to set the interface index (which I can get using interface's name).
However for some reason it doesn't work. The call to setsockopt() works fine but the following call to sendto() returns "Invalid argument" error. Of course the error disappears if I replace ip_mreqn with in_addr and use interface's address instead.
Following is my code:
sd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
struct ip_mreqn addr;
addr.imr_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0");
setsockopt(sd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF, &addr, sizeof(addr);
struct sockaddr_in sock_addr;
memset((char *) &sock_addr, 0, sizeof(sock_addr));
sock_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
sock_addr.sin_port = destination_port;
sock_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = destination_address;
char msg[] = "abc";
while (sendto(sd, msg, sizeof(msg), 0, reinterpret_cast<const sockaddr*>(&sock_addr),
sizeof(sock_addr)) < 0)
throw std::runtime_error(strerror(errno));
Is there any problem in using struct ip_mreqn when setting IP_MULTICAST_IF? Has anyone got any idea? Really appreciate help. Thanks.
Note that destination port and address are already in network byte order.
From tldp's multicast howto:
Usually, the system administrator specifies the default interface multicast datagrams should be sent from. The programmer can override this and choose a concrete outgoing interface for a given socket with this option.
struct in_addr interface_addr;
setsockopt (socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF, &interface_addr, sizeof(interface_addr));
Just an index to an interface doesn't suffice according to them.
Edit:
You're maybe confusing IP_MULTICAST_IF with IPV6_MULTICAST_IF, the latter takes an unsigned integer to denote the interface number (see man 7 ipv6).
Edit:
As it turns out the example given works as expected. Here's my full test case:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main()
{
int sd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
struct sockaddr_in sa = {0};
struct ip_mreqn addr = {{0}};
char msg[] = "abc";
addr.imr_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0");
setsockopt(sd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF, &addr, sizeof(addr));
sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa.sin_port = 8653;
inet_pton(AF_INET, "224.255.255.5", &sa.sin_addr);
if (sendto(sd, msg, sizeof(msg), 0, (void*)&sa, sizeof(sa)) < 0) {
perror("bugger");
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
In the code example of the answer, don't forget to htons() the destination port in .sin_port

socket is not blocking on write operation: OpenSolaris

I have a unit test that checks behavior on blocking and non-blocking sockets - the server writes a long response and at some point it should not be able to write any more and it
blocks on write.
Basically one side writes and other side does not reads.
Under Solaris at some point I get a error "Not enough space" (after writing 75MB) instead of blocking on write:
Program that reproduces the problem:

#include <sys/socket.h>

The output on Solaris (last two lines)
75768000
write Not enough space
The expected output on Linux (last two lines)
271760
write Connection reset by peer
Which happens only when the other side closes the socket.
Any ideas why and how can I fix it, what options to set?
P.S.: It is OpenSolaris 2009.06, x86
Edits
Added full C code that reproduces the problem
Answer:
This seems like a bug in specific version of Solaris kernel, libc library.
From OpenSolaris source code, I'm afraid the SO_SNDTIMEO option is unsupported: https://hg.java.net/hg/solaris~on-src/file/tip/usr/src/uts/common/inet/sockmods/socksctp.c#l1233
If you want to block if there's no space available, you need to write code to do that.
POSIX is pretty clear that write on a socket is equivalent to send with no options, and that send "may fail if ... [i]nsufficient resources were available in the system to perform the operation."

a program that allocates huge chunks of memory using mmap(say 1GB) [duplicate]

I am writing a program that allocates huge chunks of memory using mmap and then accesses random memory locations to read and write into it.
I just tried out the following code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main() {
int fd,len=1024*1024;
fd=open("hello",O_READ);
char*addr=mmap(0,len,PROT_READ+PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fd,0);
for(fd=0;fd<len;fd++)
putchar(addr[fd]);
if (addr==MAP_FAILED) {perror("mmap"); exit(1);}
printf("mmap returned %p, which seems readable and writable\n",addr);
munmap(addr,len);
return 0;
}
But I cannot execute this program, is there anything wrong with my code?
First of all, the code won't even compile on my debian box. O_READ isn't a correct flag for open() as far as I know.
Then, you first use fd as a file descriptor and the you use it as a counter in your for loop.
I don't understand what you're trying to do, but I think you misunderstood something about mmap.
mmap is used to map a file into the memory, this way you can read / write to the created memory mapping instead of using functions to access the file.
Here's a short program that open a file, map it the the memory and print the returner pointer :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main() {
int fd;
int result;
int len = 1024 * 1024;
fd = open("hello",O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, (mode_t) 0600);
// stretch the file to the wanted length, writting something at the end is mandatory
result = lseek(fd, len - 1, SEEK_SET);
if(result == -1) { perror("lseek"); exit(1); }
result = write(fd, "", 1);
if(result == -1) { perror("write"); exit(1); }
char*addr = mmap(0, len, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (addr==MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); exit(1); }
printf("mmap returned %p, which seems readable and writable\n",addr);
result = munmap(addr, len);
if (result == -1) { perror("munmap"); exit(1); }
close(fd);
return 0;
}
I left out the for loop, since I didn't understood its purpose. Since you create a file and you want to map it on a given length, we have to "stretch" the file to the given length too.
Hope this helps.
