JNetPcap Capture Packages No IPs returned


I have this code from here https://javatutorial.net/capture-network-packages-java But it does not return the src or destination ips. I can see the ip via

            System.out.println("packet.getHeader(ip)");
            System.out.println(packet.getHeader(ip));

Ip: ******* Ip4 - "ip version 4" - offset=14 (0xE) length=20 protocol suite=NETWORK

Ip:

Ip: version = 4

Ip: hlen = 5 [5 * 4 = 20 bytes, No Ip Options]

Ip: diffserv = 0x0 (0)

Ip: 0000 00.. = [0] code point: not set

Ip: .... ..0. = [0] ECN bit: not set

Ip: .... ...0 = [0] ECE bit: not set

Ip: length = 137

Ip: id = 0xC22C (49708)

Ip: flags = 0x2 (2)

Ip: 0.. = [0] reserved

Ip: .1. = [1] DF: do not fragment: set

Ip: ..0 = [0] MF: more fragments: not set

Ip: offset = 0

Ip: ttl = 62 [time to live]

Ip: type = 6 [next: Transmission Control]

Ip: checksum = 0xF22E (61998) [correct]

Ip: source = 10.222.82.222

Ip: destination = 10.222.82.224

Ip:

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • Really simple they changed the code. Instead of

    ip.source(sIP); ip.destination(dIP);

    Do

    sIP = ip.source(); dIP = ip.destination();
