SYNOPSIS

nemesis-ip [-vZ?] [-d Ethernet-device ] [-D destination-IP-address ] [-F fragmentation-options ] [-H source-MAC-address ] [-I IP-ID ] [-M destination-MAC-address ] [-p IP-protocol-number ] [-P payload-file ] [-S source-IP-address ] [-t IP-TOS ] [-T IP-TTL ]

DESCRIPTION

The Nemesis Project is designed to be a command line-based, portable human IP stack for UNIX-like and Windows systems. The suite is broken down by protocol, and should allow for useful scripting of injected packets from simple shell scripts.
nemesis-ip provides an interface to craft and inject IP packets allowing the user to inject an entirely arbitrary IP packet.

IP OPTIONS

-D destination-IP-address Specify the destination-IP-address within the IP header.
-F fragmentation-options (-F[D],[M],[R],[offset])
Specify the fragmentation options:
-FD (don’t fragment) 

-FM (more fragments) 

-FR (reserved flag) 

-F <offset> 
within the IP header. IP fragmentation options can be specified individually or combined into a single argument to the -F command line switch by separating the options with commas (eg. ’-FD,M’) or spaces (eg. ’-FM 223’). The IP fragmentation offset is a 13-bit field with valid values from 0 to 8189. Don’t fragment (DF), more fragments (MF) and the reserved flag (RESERVED or RB) are 1-bit fields.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, the reserved flag is unset.
-I IP-ID Specify the IP-ID within the IP header.

-O IP-options-file This will cause nemesis-ip to use the specified IP-options-file as the options when building the IP header for the injected packet. IP options can be up to 40 bytes in length. The IP options file must be created manually based upon the desired options. IP options can also be read from stdin by specifying ’-O -’ instead of an IP-options-file.
-p IP-protocol-number
Specify the IP-protocol-number as an integer within the IP header. Valid IP-protocol-numbers include:

-P payload-file This will cause nemesis-ip to use the specified payload-file as the payload when injecting IP packets. For packets injected using the raw interface (where -d is not used) the maximum payload size is 65475 bytes. For packets injected using the link layer interface (where -d IS used), the maximum payload size is 1440 bytes. Payloads can also be read from stdin by specifying ’-P -’ instead of a payload-file.
Windows systems are limited to a maximum payload size of 1440 bytes for IP packets.
The payload file can consist of any arbitary data though it will be most useful to create a payload resembling the structure of a packet type not supported by nemesis. Used in this manner, virtually any IP packet can be injected.

-S source-IP-address Specify the source-IP-address within the IP header.
-t IP-TOS
Specify the IP-type-of-service (TOS) within the IP header. Valid type of service values:
2  (Minimize monetary cost)
4  (Maximize reliability)
8  (Maximize throughput)
24 (Minimize delay)
NOTE: Under normal conditions, only one type of service is set within a packet. To specify multiple types, specify the sum of the desired values as the type of service.
-T IP-TTL Specify the IP-time-to-live (TTL) within the IP header.

-v verbose-mode Display the injected packet in human readable form. Use twice to see a hexdump of the injected packet with printable ASCII characters on the right. Use three times for a hexdump without decoded ASCII.

DATA LINK OPTIONS

-d Ethernet-device Specify the name (for UNIX-like systems) or the number (for Windows systems) of the Ethernet-device to use (eg. fxp0, eth0, hme0, 1).

-H source-MAC-address Specify the source-MAC-address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).

-M destination-MAC-address Specify the destintion-MAC-address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).

-Z list-network-interfaces Lists the available network interfaces by number for use in link-layer injection.
NOTE: This feature is only relevant to Windows systems.

DIAGNOSTICS

Nemesis-ip returns 0 on a successful exit, 1 if it exits on an error.
