函数文档

void BPF_Destroy_JIT_Filter ( JIT_BPF_Filter Filter  ) 

Deletes a filtering function that was previously created by BPF_jitter().

Parameters:
Filter The filter to destroy.
This function frees the variuos buffers (code, memory, etc.) associated with a filtering function.

JIT_BPF_Filter* BPF_jitter ( struct bpf_insn *  fp,
INT  nins 
)

BPF jitter, builds an x86 function from a BPF program.

Parameters:
fp The BPF pseudo-assembly filter that will be translated into x86 code.
nins Number of instructions of the input filter.
Returns:
The JIT_BPF_Filter structure containing the x86 filtering binary.
BPF_jitter allocates the buffers for the new native filter and then translates the program pointed by fp calling BPFtoX86().

BPF_filter_function BPFtoX86 ( struct bpf_insn *  ins,
UINT  nins,
INT *  mem 
)

Translates a set of BPF instructions in a set of x86 ones.

Parameters:
ins Pointer to the BPF instructions that will be translated into x86 code.
nins Number of instructions to translate.
mem Memory used by the x86 function to emulate the RAM of the BPF pseudo processor.
Returns:
The x86 filtering function.
This function does the hard work for the JIT compilation. It takes a group of BPF pseudo instructions and through the instruction macros defined in jitter.h it is able to create an function directly executable by NPF.

BOOLEAN createDevice ( IN OUT PDRIVER_OBJECT  adriverObjectP,
IN PUNICODE_STRING  amacNameP,
NDIS_HANDLE  aProtoHandle 
)

Creates a device for a given MAC.

Parameters:
adriverObjectP The driver object that will be associated with the device, i.e. the one of NPF.
amacNameP The name of the network interface that the device will point.
aProtoHandle NDIS protocol handle of NPF.
Returns:
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
NPF creates a device for every valid network adapter. The new device points to the NPF driver, but contains information about the original device. In this way, when the user opens the new device, NPF will be able to determine the correct adapter to use.

NTSTATUS DriverEntry ( IN PDRIVER_OBJECT  DriverObject,
IN PUNICODE_STRING  RegistryPath 
)

The initialization routine of the driver.

Parameters:
DriverObject The driver object of NPF created by the system.
RegistryPath The registry path containing the keys related to the driver.
Returns:
A string containing a list of network adapters.
DriverEntry is a mandatory function in a device driver. Like the main() of a user level program, it is called by the system when the driver is loaded in memory and started. Its purpose is to initialize the driver, performing all the allocations and the setup. In particular, DriverEntry registers all the driver's I/O callbacks, creates the devices, defines NPF as a protocol inside NDIS.

PWCHAR getAdaptersList ( VOID   ) 

Returns the list of the MACs available on the system.

Returns:
A string containing a list of network adapters.
The list of adapters is retrieved from the SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} registry key. NPF tries to create its bindings from this list. In this way it is possible to be loaded and unloaded dynamically without passing from the control panel.

UINT GetBuffOccupation ( POPEN_INSTANCE  Open  ) 

Returns the amount of bytes present in the packet buffer.

Parameters:
Open The NPF instance that closes the file.

PKEY_VALUE_PARTIAL_INFORMATION getTcpBindings ( VOID   ) 

Returns the MACs that bind to TCP/IP.

Returns:
Pointer to the registry key containing the list of adapters on which TCP/IP is bound.
If getAdaptersList() fails, NPF tries to obtain the TCP/IP bindings through this function.

VOID NPF_BindAdapter ( OUT PNDIS_STATUS  Status,
IN NDIS_HANDLE  BindContext,
IN PNDIS_STRING  DeviceName,
IN PVOID  SystemSpecific1,
IN PVOID  SystemSpecific2 
)

Callback for NDIS BindAdapterHandler. Not used by NPF.

Function called by NDIS when a new adapter is installed on the machine With Plug and Play.

INT NPF_BufferedWrite ( IN PIRP  Irp,
IN PCHAR  UserBuff,
IN ULONG  UserBuffSize,
BOOLEAN  sync 
)

Writes a buffer of raw packets to the network.

Parameters:
Irp Pointer to the IRP containing the user request.
UserBuff Pointer to the buffer containing the packets to send.
UserBuffSize Size of the buffer with the packets.
sync If set to TRUE, the packets are transmitted respecting their timestamps.
Returns:
The amount of bytes actually sent. If the return value is smaller than the Size parameter, an error occurred during the send. The error can be caused by an adapter problem or by an inconsistent/bogus user buffer.
This function is called by the OS in consequence of a BIOCSENDPACKETSNOSYNC or a BIOCSENDPACKETSSYNC IOCTL. The buffer received as input parameter contains an arbitrary number of packets, each of which preceded by a sf_pkthdr structure. NPF_BufferedWrite() scans the buffer and sends every packet via the NdisSend() function. When Sync is set to TRUE, the packets are synchronized with the KeQueryPerformanceCounter() function. This requires a remarkable amount of CPU, but allows to respect the timestamps associated with packets with a precision of some microseconds (depending on the precision of the performance counter of the machine). If Sync is false, the timestamps are ignored and the packets are sent as fat as possible.

NTSTATUS NPF_Cleanup ( IN PDEVICE_OBJECT  DeviceObject,
IN PIRP  Irp 
)

Parameters:
DeviceObject Pointer to the device object utilized by the user.
Irp Pointer to the IRP containing the user request.
Returns:
The status of the operation. See ntstatus.h in the DDK.
This function is called when a running instance of the driver is closed by the user with a CloseHandle(). It stops the capture/monitoring/dump process, deallocates the memory and the objects associated with the instance and closing the files. The network adapter is then closed with a call to NdisCloseAdapter.

The remaining portion can be obtained with the NdisTransferData() NDIS function.
LookaheadBufferSize Size in bytes of the lookahead buffer.
PacketSize Total size of the incoming packet, excluded the header.
Returns:
The status of the operation. See ntstatus.h in the DDK.
NPF_tap() is called by the underlying NIC for every incoming packet. It is the most important and one of the most complex functions of NPF: it executes the filter, runs the statistical engine (if the instance is in statistical mode), gathers the timestamp, moves the packet in the buffer. NPF_tap() is the only function, along with the filtering ones, that is executed for every incoming packet, therefore it is carefully optimized.

VOID NPF_TransferDataComplete ( IN NDIS_HANDLE  ProtocolBindingContext,

)

Callback for NDIS UnbindAdapterHandler.

Parameters:
Status out variable filled by NPF_UnbindAdapter with the status of the unbind operation.
ProtocolBindingContext Context of the function. Contains a pointer to the OPEN_INSTANCE structure associated with current instance.
UnbindContext Specifies a handle, supplied by NDIS, that NPF can use to complete the opration.
Function called by NDIS when a new adapter is removed from the machine without shutting it down. NPF_UnbindAdapter closes the adapter calling NdisCloseAdapter() and frees the memory and the structures associated with it. It also releases the waiting user-level app and closes the dump thread if the instance is in dump mode.

VOID NPF_Unload ( IN PDRIVER_OBJECT  DriverObject  ) 

Function called by the OS when NPF is unloaded.

Parameters:
DriverObject The driver object of NPF created by the system.
This is the last function executed when the driver is unloaded from the system. It frees global resources, delete the devices and deregisters the protocol. The driver can be unloaded by the user stopping the NPF service (from control panel or with a console 'net stop npf').

VOID NPF_WaitEndOfBufferedWrite ( POPEN_INSTANCE  Open  ) 

Waits the completion of all the sends performed by NPF_BufferedWrite.

Parameters:
Open Pointer to open context structure

The data is contained in the buffer associated with Irp, NPF_Write takes it and delivers it to the NIC driver via the NdisSend() function. The Nwrites field of the OPEN_INSTANCE structure associated with Irp indicates the number of copies of the packet that will be sent: more than one copy of the packet can be sent for performance reasons.

VOID NPF_WriteDumpFile ( PFILE_OBJECT  FileObject,
PLARGE_INTEGER  Offset,
ULONG  Length,
PMDL  Mdl,
PIO_STATUS_BLOCK  IoStatusBlock 
)

Writes a block of packets on the dump file.
