# Net::Frame(3pm)

the base framework for frame crafting

## NAME

Net::Frame - the base framework for frame crafting

## SYNOPSIS

```
   # Basic example, send a TCP SYN to a target, using all modules
   # the framework comprises. It also waits for the response, and
   # prints it.
   my $target = '192.168.0.1';
   my $port   = 22;
   use Net::Frame::Device;
   use Net::Write::Layer3;
   use Net::Frame::Simple;
   use Net::Frame::Dump::Online;
   use Net::Frame::Layer::IPv4;
   use Net::Frame::Layer::TCP;
   my $oDevice = Net::Frame::Device->new(target => $target);
   my $ip4 = Net::Frame::Layer::IPv4->new(
      src => $oDevice->ip,
      dst => $target,
   );
   my $tcp = Net::Frame::Layer::TCP->new(
      dst     => $port,
      options => "\x02\x04\x54\x0b",
      payload => 'test',
   );
   my $oWrite = Net::Write::Layer3->new(dst => $target);
   my $oDump = Net::Frame::Dump::Online->new(dev => $oDevice->dev);
   $oDump->start;
   my $oSimple = Net::Frame::Simple->new(
      layers => [ $ip4, $tcp ],
   );
   $oWrite->open;
   $oSimple->send($oWrite);
   $oWrite->close;
   until ($oDump->timeout) {
      if (my $recv = $oSimple->recv($oDump)) {
         print "RECV:\n".$recv->print."\n";
         last;
      }
   }
   $oDump->stop;
```

## DESCRIPTION

**Net::Frame** is a fork of **Net::Packet**. The goal here was to greatly simplify the use of the frame crafting framework. **Net::Packet** does many things undercover, and it was difficult to document all the thingies.

Also, **Net::Packet** may suffer from unease of use, because frames were assembled using layers stored in L2, L3, L4 and L7 attributes. **Net::Frame** removes all this, and is split into different modules, for those who only want to use part of the framework, and not whole framework.

Finally, anyone can create a layer, and put it on his CPAN space, because of the modularity **Net::Frame** offers. For an example, see **Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv4** on my CPAN space.

**Net::Frame** does ship with basic layers, to start playing.
