Need help with tcpreplay? Read this!

I’ve noticed a certain pattern come up more and more recently and so I’d just like to make a public statement about asking for help with using tcpreplay: Occasionally people are testing some kind of top secret device with tcpreplay and can’t tell me how it works

Why Tcpreplay went GPL

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and honestly pretty made up my mind months ago, but I finally go enough determination to edit almost all the files in the trunk source tree and change the license from the 3 clause BSD to GPLv3. There’s actually a

tcpreplay 3.4.5 beta1 released

Just a quick heads up for everyone, I’ve released tcpreplay 3.4.5 beta1beta2: https://synfin.net/tcpreplay-3.4.5beta2.tar.gz I wasn’t originally planning on doing a beta for 3.4.5, but due to feature creep it’s taking more time then I thought. Now

Rejected!

As I expected, Tcpreplay was not accepted for the Google Summer of Code. Most likely because compared to many of the other mentoring organization applicants, Tcpreplay is not able to accept many students- hence the overhead is too high. Of course, if you are a student (or anyone else for

GSoC 2009

Well I decided to throw my hat into the ring for being a mentoring organization for the 2009 Google Summer of Code for Tcpreplay. Obviously Tcpreplay will be one of the smallest “organizations” to submit an application so I can’t say that I have high hopes of being accepted,

Tcpreast! - whoops!

Due to a slight miscommunication, the audio recording equipment I was using for the Tcprecast! Video Podcast is no longer in my possession. Until I’m able to source a new USB microphone (supporting OS X) and pop filter, there won’t be any more podcasts. :(

Tcprecast! Episode #1

I’ve decided to get on the bus with all the cool kids and start my own video podcast called Tcprecast! I’m hoping to make Tcprecast! a how-to smorgasbord of all things Tcpreplay and then some. In the first episode, I cover compiling Tcpreplay and what configure options affect

Tcpreplay 4.0 devel has started...

OK, I have to admit- priorities have really changed for the next major Tcpreplay release. You can thank (or I guess depending on your perspective, blame) Abdel Younes who has stepped up and offered to create a GUI for Tcpreplay. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Abdel I’m not

Tcpreplay 3.4.0 is official!

I’m happy to announce that Tcpreplay 3.4.0 is out and posted to Sourceforge. This is a pretty large release in terms of bugs fixed and enhancements so here’s the changelog: 01/15/2009: Version 3.4.0 – Add libdnet and remove libnet support for sending packets

Tcpreplay 3.4.0pre2 available

This is the second pre-release of 3.4.0 which I hope to have out in the next week or two. There’s a lot of bug fixes and improvements (mostly related to performance) and a few major changes. The biggest change is completely removing libnet as an (optional) dependancy

2008: Tcpreplay

As I put 2008 behind me and look forward to 2009, I wanted to take a look at where Tcpreplay is and where it’s going. This year there were 5 releases- most of which happened in the first half of the year. Between other projects like Cabernet, working at

I just can't leave it alone...

For some reason, probably due to a sever mental defect, I actually enjoy writing C code. Yes, there are plenty of other languages which have plenty of aspects which are better then C, but I just don’t find any of them as satisfying to actually write code in. Ruby

3.3.2 is out the door

I released Tcpreplay 3.3.2 today. Almost all the bugs fixed and enhancements in this release were requested by users, so a big thanks to everyone who opened a ticket or emailed me their suggestions/bug reports. 06/20/2008: Version 3.3.2 - Fix (again) tcpbridge --unidir

Turning Lechers into Contributors

Yesterday, I touched on some of the problems of creating a pcap repository. I explained how you need to market the site to vendors in order to solicit their contributions, but obviously you need more then corporate donations to make the site successful- you need individuals. So how do you

If I build it, will they come?

I originally wrote this post back in March ’06, but never posted it. Since then, I’ve been distracted with other tasks and openpacket.org has gone live. I’ve decided to post this now, because I’m tired of being lazy. ——— So for about 4 years now (6 years

Mission statements

So I was reading an article about a talk the Subversion authors gave and one of the things that stood out was the importance of having a mission statement to guide development and keep focus. This is actually very relevant to me right now with Tcpreplay. As the project has

Tcpreplay 3.3.1 and the future

I’m proud to release the second stable version of the Tcpreplay 3.3 train. Things seem pretty stable right now, with many end-user reported bugs resolved. I’m not sure, but I’m hoping this is the last of the 3.3.x series so I can start working

3.3rc2 is ready!

So I’ve merged in the new high-accuracy performance code into the mainline trunk. Depending on your operating system you may or may not notice any improvement, but here’s the rundown of the changes: * Add support for OS X’s AbsoluteTime() functions which are *really* accurate! * Add support for

Tcpreplay + Fragroute = v3.3.rc1

I’ve finally got a basic integration of Dug Song’s fragroute with tcprewrite. I’m pretty excited about this not only because it’s something I’ve wanted to do for over two years, but because it really shows the power of Open Source. Anyways, big thanks to Dug

openpacket.org is open for business

So the gang at openpacket.org finally has made it to 1.0 and the website is officially open for business. Honestly, I’m quite happy to see that someone has finally made something like this available- Tcpreplay users have been asking me where to get pcaps for a long

Tcpreplay/Cabernet sites down for a few days

I’ve had to disable the tcpreplay and cabernet trac sites for a few days due to an incompatibility with Trac and Python 2.5 which was crashing Apache and taking all my sites down. Probably will be a few days before I get a chance to hack up a

tcpreplay 3.2.5 is ready for your downloading pleasure

Yep, 3.2.5 is ready to go. Fixes compiling issues under Solaris with the Sun Studio compiler as well as numerous Linux distributions which no longer ship static libraries. Download it here.

tcpreplay 3.2.4 is out

Ticket #281 was a real pain in the ass. It seemed like everyone but me could reproduce it. Anyways, hopefully in the future the RPM maintainers will actually run ‘make test’ before packaging things up so this sort of thing doesn’t happen again. Turns out they were using different

fragroute + tcprewrite == tcprewrite

Well this weekend was full of football and since my 49ers are out of the running (and likely for next year as well) I’ve regressed into a Packer fan. Hard not to with Brett Favre running the show. Anyways, while watching the Pack kill the Seagulls err… Seahawks, and

3.2.3 and Cabernet

So tcpreplay 3.2.3 was released a while ago… Fixes the serious problem with compiling on Linux. More importantly though, I’ve started to use Cabernet, my wine management system myself to manage my 350+ bottle collection. Right now, I’m debating between releasing my code as open source
