Network Disruptions When Updating/Upgrading. The apt-get upgrade and apt-get install commands cause disruptions to network services. The apt-get upgrade command might result in services being restarted or stopped as part of the upgrade process.; The apt-get install command might disrupt core services by changing core service dependency packages.; In some cases, installing new packages. A tcpreplay security update has been released for Fedora 31. SECURITY: Fedora 31 Update: tcpreplay-4.3.3-3.fc31. Tcpreplay Examples.

Extending the firmware to perform more elaborate match/action processing is now a “simple matter of programming”. 4 launched an Undercover Mode that can be used to make the Kali desktop look like Windows 10 quickly.

Name

tcpreplay - Replay network traffic stored in pcap files

Synopsis

tcpreplay [-flag [value]]... [--opt-name [[=| ]value]]...

Tcpreplay TutorialQuiet mode.

Print nothing except the statistics at the end of the run

-Tstring, --timer=string

Select packet timing mode: select, ioport, rdtsc, gtod, nano, abstime. This option may appear up to 1 times. The default string for this optionis:

gtod

Allows you to select the packet timing method to use:

nano - Use nanosleep() API

select - Use select() API

ioport - Write to the i386 IO Port 0x80

rdtsc - Use the x86/x86_64/PPC RDTSC

gtod [default] - Use a gettimeofday() loop

abstime - Use OS X's AbsoluteTime API

--sleep-accel=number

Reduce the amount of time to sleep by specified usec. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The default number for this optionis:

0

Reduce the amount of time we would normally sleep between two packets by the specified number of usec. This provides a 'fuzz factor' to compensate forrunning on a non-RTOS and other processes using CPU time. Default is disabled.

--rdtsc-clicks=number

Specify the RDTSC clicks/usec. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The default number for thisoption is:

0

Override the calculated number of RDTSC clicks/usec which is often the speed of the CPU in Mhz. Only useful if you specified --timer=rdtsc

-v, --verbose

Print decoded packets via tcpdump to STDOUT. This option may appear up to 1 times.

-Astring, --decode=string

Arguments passed to tcpdump decoder. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option must appear in combination with the following options: verbose.

When enabling verbose mode (-v) you may also specify one or more additional arguments to pass to tcpdump to modify the way packets aredecoded. By default, -n and -l are used. Be sure to quote the arguments like: -A '-axxx' so that they are not interpreted by tcpreplay. Please see thetcpdump(1) man page for a complete list of options.

-K, --enable-file-cache

Enable caching of packets to internal memory. This option must appear in combination with the following options: loop.

Cache pcap file(s) the first time they are cached in RAM so that subsequent loops don't incurr any disk I/O latency in order to increase performance. Makesure you have enough free RAM to store the entire pcap file(s) in memory or the system will swap and performance will suffer.

--preload-pcap

Preloads packets into RAM before sending.

This option loads the specified pcap(s) into RAM before starting to send in order to improve replay performance while introducing a startup performance hit.Preloading can be used with or without --loop and implies --enable-file-cache.

-cstring, --cachefile=string

Split traffic via a tcpprep cache file. This option may appear up to 1 times.

-istring, --intf1=string

Server/primary traffic output interface. This option may appear up to 1 times.

-Istring, --intf2=string

Client/secondary traffic output interface. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option must appear in combination with the following options:cachefile.

--listnics

List available network interfaces and exit.

-lnumber, --loop=number

Loop through the capture file X times. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The value of numberis constrained to being:

The default number for this option is:

1

--pktlen

Override the snaplen and use the actual packet len. This option may appear up to 1 times.

By default, tcpreplay will send packets based on the size of the 'snaplen' stored in the pcap file which is usually the correct thing to do. However,occasionally, tools will store more bytes then told to. By specifying this option, tcpreplay will ignore the snaplen field and instead try to send packetsbased on the original packet length. Bad things may happen if you specify this option.

-Lnumber, --limit=number

Limit the number of packets to send. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The value of numberis constrained to being:

The default number for this option is:

-1

By default, tcpreplay will send all the packets. Alternatively, you can specify a maximum number of packets to send.

-xstring, --multiplier=string

Modify replay speed to a given multiple. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options:pps, mbps, oneatatime, topspeed.

Specify a floating point value to modify the packet replay speed. Examples:

-pnumber, --pps=number

Replay packets at a given packets/sec. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options:multiplier, mbps, oneatatime, topspeed. This option takes an integer number as its argument.

-Mstring, --mbps=string

Replay packets at a given Mbps. This option may appear up to 1 times. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options:multiplier, pps, oneatatime, topspeed.

Specify a floating point value for the Mbps rate that tcpreplay should send packets at.

-t, --topspeed

Replay packets as fast as possible. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: mbps, multiplier, pps, oneatatime.

-o, --oneatatime

Replay one packet at a time for each user input. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: mbps, pps, multiplier,topspeed.

Allows you to step through one or more packets at a time.

--pps-multi=number

Number of packets to send for each time interval. This option must appear in combination with the following options: pps. This option takes an integernumber as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:

Tcpreplay Edit

The default number for this option is:

1

When trying to send packets at very high rates, the time between each packet can be so short that it is impossible to accurately sleep for the requiredperiod of time. This option allows you to send multiple packets at a time, thus allowing for longer sleep times which can be more accuratelyimplemented.

-P, --pid

Print the PID of tcpreplay at startup.

--stats=number

Print statistics every X seconds. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:

Note that this is very much a 'best effort' and long delays between sending packets may cause equally long delays between printing statistics.

-V, --version

Print version information.

-h, --less-help

Display less usage information and exit.

-H, --help

Display usage information and exit.

-!, --more-help

Extended usage information passed thru pager.

- [rcfile], --save-opts[=rcfile]

Save the option state to rcfile. The default is the last configuration file listed in the OPTION PRESETS section, below.

-rcfile, --load-opts=rcfile, --no-load-opts

Load options from rcfile. The no-load-opts form will disable the loading of earlier RC/INI files. --no-load-opts is handled early, outof order.

Option Presets

Any option that is not marked as not presettable may be preset by loading values from configuration ('RC' or '.INI') file(s). The homerc fileis '$$/', unless that is a directory. In that case, the file '.tcpreplayrc' is searched for within that directory.

Signals

tcpreplay understands the following signals:

SIGUSR1 Suspend tcpreplay

SIGCONT Restart tcpreplay

Bugs

What Is Tcpreplay

tcpreplay can only send packets as fast as your computer's interface, processor, disk and system bus will allow.

Packet timing at high speeds is a black art and very OS/CPU dependent.

Replaying captured traffic may simulate odd or broken conditions on your network and cause all sorts of problems.

In most cases, you can not replay traffic back to/at a server.

Some operating systems by default do not allow for forging source MAC addresses. Please consult your operating system's documentation and the tcpreplay FAQif you experience this issue.
