jNetPcap OpenSource

After careful review and a long design session about "Dissectors/containers" (analyzers are also part of this decision), I have made a decision that this feature can not be properly implemented using current memory model used in jNetPcap when managing natively allocated memory. This is something I will be working on, but only after 1.2.alpha is released. Therefore I am almost ready to freeze the feature set and get things ready for an official 1.2 release.

jNetPcap is growing rapidly in terms of usage and features. I have been prioritizing work. Up until recently the priorities were a bit too flexible and shifting from one thing to another. So I would like to make my priorities public and would apprechiate feedback and suggestions.

Development build jnetpcap-1.3.b0003 is available for download. This is the latest snapshot of the main development trunk. It looks stable on all the platforms tested.

Key updates:

• Sip, Sdp, Rtp, Arp, Rip, SLL protocols are all now CORE protocols.
• Protocol heuristics (bindings are guessed based on evaluation of raw header data for matches against protocols.)
• Low level header-state-structure has been expanded to take into account a header prefix, the header itself, a gap between header and payload, payload length and a postfix.
• Packet truncation is now also applied at low level to scanner and appropriate packet and header specific flags are set to indicate packet fragments and/or truncated packets.
• Checksum calculation class and package is provided. Checksum validation is supported through a new interface JHeaderChecksum which is implemented by Ip4, Tcp, Udp, Icmp headers.
• a number of bug fixes in protocols and analyzers.

You can download the build package for MsWindows, Linux and Debian from sourceforge.net file release system:
