tcp-packet

Encode/decode raw tcp packets. Currently very incomplete.

$ npm install tcp-packet

Usage

const tcp = require('tcp-packet')

const packet = tcp.decode(Buffer.from('c3560050ee7d2560b5e66669801801c90a5900000101080a000276e95dd3f7a668656c6c6f0a', 'hex'))
console.log(packet)

API

ip.encode({ data, sourcePort, destinationPort, sequenceNumber, acknowledgmentNumber })

Encodes a packet. Returns a buffer. The packet should look like this:

{
  data: <Buffer>,
  sourcePort: 12345,
  destinationPort: 80,
  sequenceNumbe: 1234567,
  acknowledgmentNumber: 7654321
}

ip.decode(buffer)

Decodes a packet from a buffer. A buffer could look like Buffer.from('c3560050ee7d2560b5e66669801801c90a5900000101080a000276e95dd3f7a668656c6c6f0a', 'hex')) and return something like this:

{
  sourcePort: 50006,
  destinationPort: 80,
  sequenceNumber: 4001178976,
  acknowledgmentNumber: 3051775593,
  dataOffset: 8,
