IGMP Protocol (The Nemesis Project)

## NAME

nemesis-igmp - IGMP Protocol (The Nemesis Project)

## SYNOPSIS

**nemesis-igmp \[-vZ?\] \[-c** *IGMP-code* **\] \[-d** *Ethernet-device* **\] \[-D** *destination-IP-address* **\] \[-F** *fragmentation-options* **\] \[-H** *source-MAC-address* **\] \[-i** *IGMP-group-IP-address* **\] \[-I** *IP-ID* **\] \[-M** *destination-MAC-address* **\] \[-O** *IP-options-file* **\] \[-p** *IGMP-type* **\] \[-P** *payload-file* **\] \[-S** *source-IP-address* **\] \[-t** *IP-tos* **\] \[-T** *IP-TTL* **\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**The Nemesis Project** is designed to be a command line-based, portable human IP stack for UNIX-like  and Windows systems.  The suite is broken down by protocol, and should allow  for useful scripting of injected packets from simple shell scripts.

**nemesis-igmp** provides an interface to craft and inject IGMP packets allowing the user to specify any portion of an IGMP packet as well as lower-level IP packet information.

## IGMP Options

- \-c IGMP-code (unused field)

  Specify the *IGMP-code* or the value for the one-byte field following the IGMP type field.  This value is normally unused.

- \-i IGMP-group-IP-address

  Specify the *IGMP-group-IP-address* within the IGMP header.

- \-p IGMP-type

  Specify the *IGMP-type* within the IGMP header.  Valid IGMP-type values:

  ```
  17 (IGMP membership query)
  18 (IGMP V1 membership report)
  22 (IGMP V2 membership report)
  23 (IGMP leave group)
  ```

  Only one type may be specified at a time.

- \-P payload-file

  This will case nemesis-igmp to use the specified *payload-file* as the payload when injecting IGMP packets.  For packets injected using the raw interface (where -d is not used), the maximum payload size is 65467 bytes.  For packets injected using the link layer interface (where -d IS used), the maximum payload size is 1432 bytes.  Payloads can also be read from stdin by specifying '-P -' instead of a payload file.

  Windows systems are limited to a maximum payload size of 1432 bytes for IGMP packets.

- \-v verbose-mode

  Display the injected packet in human readable form.  Use twice to see a hexdump of the injected packet with printable ASCII characters on the right.  Use three times for a hexdump without decoded ASCII.

## IP OPTIONS

- \-D destination-IP-address

  Specify the *destination-IP-address* within the IP header.

- \-F fragmentation-options (-F\[D\],\[M\],\[R\],\[offset\])

  Specify the *fragmentation options:*

  ```
  -FD (don't fragment)
  -FM (more fragments)
  -FR (reserved flag)
  -F <offset>
  ```

  within the IP header.  IP fragmentation options can be specified individually  or combined into a single argument to the -F command line switch by separating  the options with commas (eg. '-FD,M') or spaces (eg. '-FM 223').  The IP  fragmentation offset is a 13-bit field with valid values from 0 to 8189.   Don't fragment (DF), more fragments (MF) and the reserved flag (RESERVED or RB)  are 1-bit fields.

  NOTE: Under normal conditions, the reserved flag is unset.

- \-I IP-ID

  Specify the *IP-ID* within the IP header.

- \-O IP-options-file

  This will cause nemesis-igmp to use the specified *IP-options-file* as the options when building the IP header for the injected packet.  IP  options can be up to 40 bytes in length.  The IP options file must be created manually based upon the desired options.  IP options can also be read from  stdin by specifying '-O -' instead of an IP-options-file.

- \-S source-IP-address

  Specify the *source-IP-address* within the IP header.

- \-t IP-TOS

  Specify the *IP-type-of-service (TOS)* within the IP header.  Valid type of service values:

  ```
  2  (Minimize monetary cost)
  4  (Maximize reliability)
  8  (Maximize throughput)
  24 (Minimize delay)
  ```

  NOTE: Under normal conditions, only one type of service is set within a  packet.  To specify multiple types, specify the sum of the desired values as the type of service.

- \-T IP-TTL

  *IP-time-to-live (TTL)* within the IP header.

## DATA LINK OPTIONS

- \-d Ethernet-device

  Specify the name (for UNIX-like systems) or the number (for Windows systems)  of the *Ethernet-device* to use (eg. fxp0, eth0, hme0, 1).

- \-H source-MAC-address

  Specify the *source-MAC-address* (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).

- \-M destination-MAC-address

  Specify the *destintion-MAC-address* (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).

- \-Z list-network-interfaces

  Lists the available network interfaces by number for use in link-layer  injection.

  NOTE: This feature is only relevant to Windows systems.

## DIAGNOSTICS

Nemesis-igmp returns 0 on a successful exit, 1 if it exits on an error.
