package ipv6rwc // The ICMPv6 module implements functions to easily create ICMPv6 // packets. These functions, when mixed with the built-in Go IPv6 // and ICMP libraries, can be used to send control messages back // to the host. Examples include: // - NDP messages, when running in TAP mode // - Packet Too Big messages, when packets exceed the session MTU // - Destination Unreachable messages, when a session prohibits // incoming traffic import ( "encoding/binary" "net" "golang.org/x/net/icmp" "golang.org/x/net/ipv6" ) type ICMPv6 struct{} // Marshal returns the binary encoding of h. func ipv6Header_Marshal(h *ipv6.Header) ([]byte, error) { b := make([]byte, 40) b[0] |= byte(h.Version) << 4 b[0] |= byte(h.TrafficClass) >> 4 b[1] |= byte(h.TrafficClass) << 4 b[1] |= byte(h.FlowLabel >> 16) b[2] = byte(h.FlowLabel >> 8) b[3] = byte(h.FlowLabel) binary.BigEndian.PutUint16(b[4:6], uint16(h.PayloadLen)) b[6] = byte(h.NextHeader) b[7] = byte(h.HopLimit) copy(b[8:24], h.Src) copy(b[24:40], h.Dst) return b, nil } // Creates an ICMPv6 packet based on the given icmp.MessageBody and other // parameters, complete with IP headers only, which can be written directly to // a TUN adapter, or called directly by the CreateICMPv6L2 function when // generating a message for TAP adapters. func CreateICMPv6(dst net.IP, src net.IP, mtype ipv6.ICMPType, mcode int, mbody icmp.MessageBody) ([]byte, error) { // Create the ICMPv6 message icmpMessage := icmp.Message{ Type: mtype, Code: mcode, Body: mbody, } // Convert the ICMPv6 message into []byte icmpMessageBuf, err := icmpMessage.Marshal(icmp.IPv6PseudoHeader(src, dst)) if err != nil { return nil, err } // Create the IPv6 header ipv6Header := ipv6.Header{ Version: ipv6.Version, NextHeader: 58, PayloadLen: len(icmpMessageBuf), HopLimit: 255, Src: src, Dst: dst, } // Convert the IPv6 header into []byte ipv6HeaderBuf, err := ipv6Header_Marshal(&ipv6Header) if err != nil { return nil, err } // Construct the packet responsePacket := make([]byte, ipv6.HeaderLen+ipv6Header.PayloadLen) copy(responsePacket[:ipv6.HeaderLen], ipv6HeaderBuf) copy(responsePacket[ipv6.HeaderLen:], icmpMessageBuf) // Send it back return responsePacket, nil }
