To connect the packets specified in the MembersMgmtCommAttack-parameters with the actual packets generated the attack will create a xml-file next the resulting pcap with all the information needed. The file's basename will be the same as the output-pcap's plus a "_mapping"-suffix. Also the file-extension will be changed from "pcap" to "xml". "telnet-raw-id2t.pcap" will have "telnet-raw-id2t_mapping.xml" as its mapping-file.
The mapping-file contains a <mappings>
-tag as root-element. It will contain several <mapping>
-tags which will have a list of attributes:
The mapping-file contains a variety of formats of the packet's timestamp. Those are the three formats used by wiresharkm, one for every kind of dateformat-lover. These are the xml-attribute-names and the corresponding formats:
PCAP_Time-Timestamp
: The unix-timestamp format, the number of decimal digits is up to pythons internal implementation of float-to-string-conversion. An example is 944192097.3452476
PCAP_Time-Relative
: Same format as 1., but this time all numbers are relative distances to the first packet of the pcap. A value of 3.1415926
indicates the packet appeared pi seconds after the first packet of the pcap.PCAP_Time-Dateformat
: A datetime formatted by ISO 8601 with the format string "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.s". Please not that this is not UTC-format and that the number of millisecond-digits is fixed to six instead of "one or more" as specified in the standard. However it is the datetime-format that wireshark uses and this explains the odd choice. An example-date is 1999-12-03 04:34:58.354494
.Packets in pcap-files are usually identified by their packet-number, but the pcap-file created by MembersMgmtCommAttack is a temporary pcap that will get merged into the final pcap and its package numbers will be rendered invalid. The only field that is precise enough to identify packets uniquely is the packets timestamp. Therefore this will be used as packet-ID, other suggestions are welcome.
