I am trying to generate pcap file from a tcpdump output, how can I generate those packets having sequence number as first:last?
Here is what my tcpdump input looks like:
tcpdump: listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

Following is the code I have prepared to process the TCP packets:
from scapy.all import *
import secrets
def generatePcapfromText(inputtxt,output):
with open (inputtxt,encoding='cp850') as input:
framenum=0
for line in input:
if line[0].isdigit(): # line one
framenum += 1
frametime=float(line[:16])
srcmac= line[18:34]
dstmac= line[38:54]
ethertype = int(line[line.find('(')+1:line.find(')')], 16)
frameLen=int(line[line.find('length')+7:line.find(': (')])
frameTos=int(line[line.find('tos')+4:line.find(', ttl')],16)
frameTtl=int(line[line.find('ttl')+4:line.find(', id')])
frameId=int(line[line.find('id')+3:line.find(', offset')])
frameOffset=line[line.find('offset')+7:line.find(', flags')]
frameFlags=line[line.find('[')+1:line.find(']')]
protocol = line[line.find('proto')+6:line.rfind('(')-1]
ipLen = int(line[line.rfind('length')+6:line.rfind(')')])
if frameFlags == "none":
frameFlags = ""
ether = Ether(dst=dstmac, src=srcmac, type=ethertype)
elif len(line)>5:
if line[5].isdigit(): # line two
srcinfo = line[4:line.find ( '>' )]
dstinfo = line[line.find ( '>' ) + 2:line.find ( ':' )]
ipsrc = srcinfo[:srcinfo.rfind ( '.' )]
ipdst = dstinfo[:dstinfo.rfind ( '.' )]
srcport = int(srcinfo[srcinfo.rfind ( '.' ) + 1:])
dstport = int(dstinfo[dstinfo.rfind ( '.' ) + 1:])
ip = ether/IP(src=ipsrc, dst=ipdst, len=frameLen, tos=frameTos, ttl=frameTtl, id=frameId, flags=frameFlags, proto=protocol.lower())
if protocol == "TCP":
frameFlag = line[line.find ( '[' ) + 1:line.find ( ']' )]
frameFlag=frameFlag.replace(".","A")
cksum = int(line[line.find ( 'cksum' ) + 6:line.find ( '(' )],16)
if ", ack" in line:
seq_n = line[line.find ( ', seq' ) + 6:line.find ( ', ack' )]
ack_n = int(line[line.find ( 'ack' ) + 4:line.find ( ', win' )])
else:
seq_n = line[line.find ( ', seq' ) + 6:line.find ( ', win' )]
ack_n = 0
if "options" in line:
win = int(line[line.find ( 'win' ) + 4:line.find ( ', options' )])
options= line[line.find ( 'options' ) + 8:line.find ( ', length' )]
else:
win = int(line[line.find ( 'win' ) + 4:line.find ( ', length' )])
options="[]"
pktlen = int(line[line.find ( ', length' ) + 9:])
if ":" in seq_n:
# ???
else:
pkt = ip / TCP(sport=srcport, dport=dstport , flags=frameFlag, seq=int(seq_n), ack=ack_n, chksum=cksum, window=win) / secrets.token_hex(pktlen)
pkt.time = frametime
wrpcap(output, pkt, append=True)
As TCP in Scapy need an integer for the sequence number I cannot pass it first:last as the sequence number, so It needs some modification which I am not familiar with as It is my first time working with Scapy. I have mark where this modification should be done via #??? in the code above.
For my purpose it is important that the packets have the same timestamp as the tcpdump input, so I have set the packet timestamp via pkt.time=timestamp.
PS: You can find history behind this question here.
According to the tcpdump manpage
The notation is
first:lastwhich meanssequence numbers first up to but not including last
The first:last notation doesn't actually exist within the packet, therefore Scapy won't understand it. Tcpdump gives you this additional information based on the analysis of the TCP stream (and possible regrouping of the packets)
You should also note that your sequence numbers are probably relative, which means they don't really mean anything else than the order.
Using the first part of the number as a sequence number will probably be enough for your needs:
seq = int(seq_n.split(":")[0])
