Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the
information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of
injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the
legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit
e6a9854b05 ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API").
The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame
injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having
rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine
grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of
tests.

How to use packet injection with mac80211
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
mac80211 now allows arbitrary packets to be injected down any Monitor Mode
|
|
interface from userland. The packet you inject needs to be composed in the
|
|
following format:
|
|
|
|
[ radiotap header ]
|
|
[ ieee80211 header ]
|
|
[ payload ]
|
|
|
|
The radiotap format is discussed in
|
|
./Documentation/networking/radiotap-headers.txt.
|
|
|
|
Despite many radiotap parameters being currently defined, most only make sense
|
|
to appear on received packets. The following information is parsed from the
|
|
radiotap headers and used to control injection:
|
|
|
|
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_FLAGS
|
|
|
|
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_FCS: FCS will be removed and recalculated
|
|
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_WEP: frame will be encrypted if key available
|
|
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_FRAG: frame will be fragmented if longer than the
|
|
current fragmentation threshold.
|
|
|
|
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TX_FLAGS
|
|
|
|
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_TX_NOACK: frame should be sent without waiting for
|
|
an ACK even if it is a unicast frame
|
|
|
|
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE
|
|
|
|
legacy rate for the transmission (only for devices without own rate control)
|
|
|
|
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS
|
|
|
|
HT rate for the transmission (only for devices without own rate control).
|
|
Also some flags are parsed
|
|
|
|
IEEE80211_TX_RC_SHORT_GI: use short guard interval
|
|
IEEE80211_TX_RC_40_MHZ_WIDTH: send in HT40 mode
|
|
|
|
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DATA_RETRIES
|
|
|
|
number of retries when either IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE or
|
|
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS was used
|
|
|
|
The injection code can also skip all other currently defined radiotap fields
|
|
facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example valid radiotap header defining some parameters
|
|
|
|
0x00, 0x00, // <-- radiotap version
|
|
0x0b, 0x00, // <- radiotap header length
|
|
0x04, 0x0c, 0x00, 0x00, // <-- bitmap
|
|
0x6c, // <-- rate
|
|
0x0c, //<-- tx power
|
|
0x01 //<-- antenna
|
|
|
|
The ieee80211 header follows immediately afterwards, looking for example like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
0x08, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00,
|
|
0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
|
|
0x13, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66,
|
|
0x13, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66,
|
|
0x10, 0x86
|
|
|
|
Then lastly there is the payload.
|
|
|
|
After composing the packet contents, it is sent by send()-ing it to a logical
|
|
mac80211 interface that is in Monitor mode. Libpcap can also be used,
|
|
(which is easier than doing the work to bind the socket to the right
|
|
interface), along the following lines:
|
|
|
|
ppcap = pcap_open_live(szInterfaceName, 800, 1, 20, szErrbuf);
|
|
...
|
|
r = pcap_inject(ppcap, u8aSendBuffer, nLength);
|
|
|
|
