=======
|
|
|
|
libtins is a high-level, multiplatform C++ network packet sniffing and
|
|
crafting library.
|
|
|
|
Its main purpose is to provide the C++ developer an easy, efficient,
|
|
platform and endianess-independent way to create tools which need to
|
|
send, receive and manipulate specially crafted packets.
|
|

## Compiling ##
|
|
|
|
[libtins](http://libtins.github.io/) depends on
|
|
[libpcap](http://www.tcpdump.org/) and
|
|
[openssl](http://www.openssl.org/), although the latter is not necessary
|
|
if some features of the library are disabled.
|
|
|
|
In order to compile, execute:
|
|
|
|
```Shell
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that by default, only the shared object is compiled. If you would
|
|
like to generate a static library file as well, run:
|
|
|
|
```Shell
|
|
./configure --enable-static
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The generated static/shared library files will be located in the .libs
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
libtins is noticeable faster if you enable C++11 support. Therefore, if
|
|
your compiler supports this standard, then you should enable it. In
|
|
order to do so, use the --enable-c++11 switch:
|
|
|
|
```Shell
|
|
./configure --enable-c++11
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable WPA2 decryption support, which will remove
|
|
openssl as a dependency for compilation, use the --disable-wpa2 switch:
|
|
|
|
```Shell
|
|
./configure --disable-wpa2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable IEEE 802.11 support(this will also disable
|
|
RadioTap and WPA2 decryption), which will reduce the size of the
|
|
resulting library in around 20%, use the --disable-dot11 switch:
|
|
|
|
```Shell
|
|
./configure --disable-dot11
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installing ##
|
|
|
|
Once you're done, if you want to install the header files and the
|
|
shared object, execute as root:
|
|
|
|
```Shell
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will install the shared object typically in /usr/local/lib. Note
|
|
that you might have to update ldconfig's cache before using it, so
|
|
in order to invalidate it, you should run(as root):
|
|
|
|
```Shell
|
|
ldconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
