IPv4 Header

 

 

Explanation will be posted later !

 

Example 1 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In this example, I will show you an example showing the IPv4 header as shown below.

 

 

Following is the source code that I will compile with Microsoft .Net 2008 VC++.

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <tchar.h>

 

// Followings are data type casting that will be used for converting Endianess (Convering Big

// Endian to little Endian and Little Endian to Big Endian)

typedef signed short int    int16_t;

typedef unsigned short int  uint16_t;

typedef signed int          int32_t;

typedef unsigned int        uint32_t;

 

// Following data structure for IPv4.

// NOTE : According to IPv4 header structure, I should define 'unsigned char ip_Version:4

// ,ip_HeaderLength:4 ' instead of 'unsigned char ip_HeaderLength:4, ip_Version:4'. This is because

// Windows is using the Little Endian. You should change the order of these two fields based on

// the system you are running the code.

 

typedef struct header

{

    unsigned char ip_HeaderLength:4, ip_Version:4;

    unsigned char ip_ServiceType;       

    unsigned short int ip_TotalLength:16;  

    unsigned short int ip_Identification:16;   

    unsigned short int ip_FragmentOffset:16;  

    unsigned char ip_TimeToLive:8;       

    unsigned char ip_Protocol:8;        

    unsigned short int ip_Checksum:16;  

    unsigned char ip_Source[4];        

    unsigned char ip_Destination[4];      

 

} ipv4Header;

 

// Following APIs are to swap the Endianness (Type of Endian). Little to Big, Big to Little

uint16_t swap_uint16( uint16_t val )

{

    return (val << 8) | (val >> 8 );

}

 

int16_t swap_int16( int16_t val )

{

    return (val << 8) | ((val >> 8) & 0xFF);

}

 

uint32_t swap_uint32( uint32_t val )

{

    val = ((val << 8) & 0xFF00FF00 ) | ((val >> 8) & 0xFF00FF );

    return (val << 16) | (val >> 16);

}

 

int32_t swap_int32( int32_t val )

{

    val = ((val << 8) & 0xFF00FF00) | ((val >> 8) & 0xFF00FF );

    return (val << 16) | ((val >> 16) & 0xFFFF);

}

 

 

// Following is the main part of this example

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

{

 

    ipv4Header hIPv4;

 

    // Following is Byte Array that will be used in this example. This example is from

    // the wireshark log shown above. In real application, you may get this data from

    // other source like binary file or network interface card.

    

    unsigned char ipPacket[] = {

                                0x45, 0x00, 0x00, 0x3C, 0x58, 0x87, 0x00, 0x00,

                                0x80, 0x01, 0x5E, 0xAA, 0xC0, 0xA8, 0x01, 0x1F,

                                0xC0, 0xA8, 0x01, 0x20, 0x08, 0x00, 0x4D, 0x5A,

                                0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01, 0x61, 0x62, 0x63, 0x64,

                                0x65, 0x66, 0x67, 0x68, 0x69, 0x6A, 0x6B, 0x6C,

                                0x6D, 0x6E, 0x6F, 0x70, 0x71, 0x72, 0x73, 0x74,

                                0x75, 0x76, 0x77, 0x61, 0x62, 0x63, 0x64, 0x65,

                                0x66, 0x67, 0x68, 0x69

                                };

 

    // Copy the block of data from ipPacket and assign them to hIPv4

    // By this line, the data is automatically split into each items defined in ipv4Header

    memcpy(&hIPv4,ipPacket,sizeof(ipv4Header));

 

    // Following is to print out the items analyzed by ipv4Header data structure.

    // You would see some value goes through Endian Swap function before it get printed out.

    // If you are using this example on Big Endian system, you would not need to use these

    // Endian Swap function.

    printf("Version :%d\n",hIPv4.ip_Version);

    printf("Header length :%d Bytes\n",hIPv4.ip_HeaderLength*4);

    printf("Service :%#02x\n",hIPv4.ip_ServiceType);

    printf("Total Length :%d\n",swap_uint16(hIPv4.ip_TotalLength));

    printf("Identification :%#x (%d)\n",swap_uint16(hIPv4.ip_Identification)

                                       ,swap_uint16(hIPv4.ip_Identification));

    printf("Fragment Offset :%d\n",swap_uint16(hIPv4.ip_FragmentOffset));

    printf("Time To Live :%d\n",hIPv4.ip_TimeToLive);

    printf("Protocol :%d\n",hIPv4.ip_Protocol);

    printf("Checksum :%#x\n",swap_uint16(hIPv4.ip_Checksum));

    printf("Source : %d.%d.%d.%d\n",hIPv4.ip_Source[0]

                                   ,hIPv4.ip_Source[1]

                                   ,hIPv4.ip_Source[2]

                                   ,hIPv4.ip_Source[3]);

    printf("Destination : %d.%d.%d.%d\n",hIPv4.ip_Destination[0]

                                        ,hIPv4.ip_Destination[1]

                                        ,hIPv4.ip_Destination[2]

                                        ,hIPv4.ip_Destination[3]);

 

    return 0;

}
