[Winpcap-users] Retriving the data from UDP packet

[Umesh Chandra Sahoo]

Hi Prashanth.

 

Till now I worked on IPV4 and TCP. What I found it works fine. I think
for ur case there might be two reasons.

 

1.	you might fetching the wrong thing for the data. Do one thing
check thoroughly that u r bypassing the UDP header propelr or not. Just
be aware that u r not doing anything wrong in the data bytes calculation
of UDP header.
2.	It might be possible that from which pcap file you are reading
that packets may not contain any data. So do one thing open that file in
ethereal and there u can check whether those packets have any data or
not.

 

If these two cant solve ur problem then let me know. I will try recheck
myself for UDP in my set up.

 

Regards

Umesh

Subject: [Winpcap-users] Retriving the data from UDP packet

 

Hi All,

       I was wondering could anybody help me out to solve my issue as
I'm new to networking programming using WinPcap. My task is to retrieve
the IPv4 header information and UDP header information and also data of
the UDP packet. I'm using WinPCap library for doing the above task,
fortunately I found a sample code in WinPcap site regarding this
problem(
http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_41b/html/group__wpcap__tut4.html) but
the code outputs only the header information of both UDP and IPv4
address, along with these info I need data also. When I debugged the
code I came across pcap_next_ex() API where I am supposed to get packet
data also, but it returns empty string.  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
