Detailed Description

A class for representing IPv4 address filter, equivalent to "net src x.x.x.x" or "net dst x.x.x.x"
For deeper understanding of the filter concept please refer to PcapFilter.h

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IPFilter() [1/3]

pcpp::IPFilter::IPFilter ( const std::string &  ipAddress, Direction  dir  )

inline

The basic constructor that creates the filter from an IPv4 address and direction (source or destination)

Parameters

[in]	ipAddress	The IPv4 address to build the filter with. If this address is not a valid IPv4 address an error will be written to log and parsing this filter will fail
[in]	dir	The address direction to filter (source or destination)

IPFilter() [2/3]

pcpp::IPFilter::IPFilter ( const std::string &  ipAddress, Direction  dir, const std::string &  ipv4Mask  )

inline

A constructor that enable to filter only part of the address by using a mask (aka subnet). For example: "filter only IP addresses that matches the subnet 10.0.0.x"

Parameters

[in]	ipAddress	The IPv4 address to use. Only the part of the address that is not masked will be matched. For example: if the address is "1.2.3.4" and the mask is "255.255.255.0" than the part of the address that will be matched is "1.2.3.X". If this address is not a valid IPv4 address an error will be written to log and parsing this filter will fail
[in]	dir	The address direction to filter (source or destination)
[in]	ipv4Mask	The mask to use. Mask should also be in a valid IPv4 format (i.e x.x.x.x), otherwise parsing this filter will fail

IPFilter() [3/3]

pcpp::IPFilter::IPFilter ( const std::string &  ipAddress, Direction  dir, int  len  )

inline

A constructor that enables to filter by a subnet. For example: "filter only IP addresses that matches the subnet 10.0.0.3/24" which means the part of the address that will be matched is "10.0.0.X"

Parameters

[in]	ipAddress	The IPv4 address to use. Only the part of the address that is not masked will be matched. For example: if the address is "1.2.3.4" and the subnet is "/24" than the part of the address that will be matched is "1.2.3.X". If this address is not a valid IPv4 address an error will be written to log and parsing this filter will fail
[in]	dir	The address direction to filter (source or destination)
[in]	len	The subnet to use (e.g "/24")

Member Function Documentation

parseToString()

void pcpp::IPFilter::parseToString ( std::string &  result )

virtual

A method that parses the class instance into BPF string format

Parameters

[out]

result

An empty string that the parsing will be written into. If the string isn't empty, its content will be overridden

Implements pcpp::GeneralFilter.

setAddr()

void pcpp::IPFilter::setAddr ( const std::string &  ipAddress )

inline

Set the IPv4 address

Parameters

[in]

ipAddress

The IPv4 address to build the filter with. If this address is not a valid IPv4 address an error will be written to log and parsing this filter will fail

setLen()

void pcpp::IPFilter::setLen ( int  len )

inline

Set the subnet

Parameters

[in]

len

The subnet to use (e.g "/24")

setMask()

void pcpp::IPFilter::setMask ( const std::string &  ipv4Mask )

inline

Set the IPv4 mask

Parameters

[in]

ipv4Mask

The mask to use. Mask should also be in a valid IPv4 format (i.e x.x.x.x), otherwise parsing this filter will fail
