NetA2008 Examples

This page points to various examples of network programming, which will usually be either captures or programs.

Simple

shows a stak capture and analysis of the simplest complex HTTP transaction.

SimpleHeaders

This analyzes the same two dumps as in Simple but with the revised HTTPProvider loaded into stak, which knows about headers.

HTTPProvider

This is the (!!DRAFT VERSION!!) of the HTTPProvider code. It has some problems, some are mistakes and some are things that have not yet been added. So far it runs well enough to start sorting out what else it needs.

StakMime

TCPConnection

This shows how the TCPConnectionProvider actually detects connections and keeps track of them.

explains some DNS queries and responses.

DNSSTAK

is a stak capture of a DNS session.

TLSSTAK

captures a typical TLS transaction.

RTP

Explains a bit about RTP.

GloriaPatri

is a stak capture of the transfer of the file GloriaPatri.ogg.

SafeChristmas

This is a simple standalone DNS query program. It does not handle recursion, although it can easily be modified to do so.
