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-rip provides an interface to craft and inject RIP packets allowing the user to
specify any portion of a RIP packet as well as lower-level IP packet
information.
RIP Options
|
-a RIP-address-family
|
Specify the
RIP-address-family within the RIP header.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, the address-family value is 2 - indicating IP.
|
|
-c RIP-command
|
Specify the
RIP-command within the RIP header. Valid RIP command values:
1 (Request)
2 (Reply)
3 (Trace on - obsolete)
4 (Trace off - obsolete)
5 (Poll)
6 (Poll entry)
7 (Max)
NOTE: Under normal conditions, only commands 1 (Request) and 2 (Reply) are
valid.
|
|
-h RIP-next-hop address
|
Specify the
RIP-next-hop-address within the RIP header. The next hop address value is 0 for RIP version 1.
For RIP version 2 the next hop address specifies the IP address of the next
route in the path to the destination host or network. Also for RIP version 2,
if this value is 0, the next hop address is the IP address of the router
originating the RIP update.
|
|
-i RIP-route-address
|
Specify the
RIP-route-address within the RIP header. This value species the destination network, subnet or
host of route in the form of an IP address.
|
|
-k RIP-network-address-mask
|
Specify the
RIP-network-address-mask within the RIP header. The network address mask value is 0 for RIP version 1.
For RIP version 2 the network address mask specifies the mask associated with
the route.
|
|
-m RIP-metric
|
Specify the
RIP-metric within the RIP header. Valid RIP-metric values range from 1 to 16. A
RIP-metric value of 16 (infinity) is used to invalidate a route.
|
|
-P payload-file
|
This will case nemesis-rip to use the specified
payload-file as the payload when injecting RIP packets. For packets injected using the
raw interface (where -d is not used), the maximum payload size is
65393 bytes. For packets injected using the link layer interface
(where -d IS used), the maximum payload size is 1358 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 1358 bytes for RIP
packets.
|
|
-r RIP-routing-domain
|
Specify the
RIP-routing-domain within the RIP header. A routing domain value of 0 is used for RIP version 1.
For RIP version 2 the routing domain field is used to identify a unique RIP
process on the host or router.
|
|
-R RIP-route-tag
|
Specify the
RIP-route-tag within the RIP header. The RIP route tag value is used to support exterior
gatetway protocols. A route tag value of 0 is used for RIP version 1.
For RIP version 2 the route tag field will contain the autonomous system (AS)
number for exterior gateway protocol (EGP) and border gateway protocol (BGP).
RIP version 2 preserves this value when a route is re-advertised.
|
|
-V RIP-version
|
Specify the
RIP-version within the RIP header.
NOTE: Under normal conditions only versions 1 and 2 are valid.
|
|
-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.
|
|
UDP OPTIONS
|
-x source-port
|
Specify the
source-port within the UDP header.
|
|
-y destination-port
|
Specify the
destination-port within the UDP header.
|
|
IP OPTIONS
|
-D destination-IP-address
|
Specify the
destination-IP-address within the IP header. If a destination IP address is not specified, one will
automatically be selected depending on the RIP version. By default, RIP
version 2 is used in which case the default destination IP address is
IP address is automatically generated and the last octet (least significant
bits) are set to 0xff; this is an attempt to emulate a network broadcast to
a C class network. If a RIP version other than 1 or 2 is specified, the
destination IP address is entirely random.
|
|
-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-rip 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.
|
|
-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.
|
|
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
defination-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-rip returns 0 on a successful exit, 1 if it exits on an error.
BUGS
Currently, only one RIP entry is supported using the command line switches.
To add more entries to a RIP update packet, a binary payload file must be
created by hand containing the additional (up to 24) RIP entries.
