The Design and Development of Tool about Network Packets Analysis
Abstract
Nowadays, with the development of information, the issue of network security is becoming prominent and the network attack is proliferation. Therefore, the security of network information is becoming very important. Network hosts must have adequate safety, or the value of the network would be deva lued. The development of the system was to provide the users with a useful tool that analysis the network packets. The system has four main functions: capture the network packets, analysis the packet, analysis the information of packet and display packet information. To achieve the goal, I choose the system of ubuntu (Linux), libpcap. apache, mysql and php platform to develop the system. The operating systems and software development kits are free, this is one of the system's features. The system used libpcap to capture data packets firstly, and then use the C language, and TCP / IP protocol as the basis theoretical to analytic packets, the database of mysql stored the result of Analysising information. Module of packet analysis reads the information from the database of mysql, statistic and analysis the information, and then describes security conditions. Finally, use the apache and php technology to display database information. Through the test of the system to achieve the goal that capture and analysis data packet, information analysis, display information, it is a good reference for users to keep up on the current state of network.
