Message filter in the RITM-ETH-RAW RX unit

The PCAP library is used to receive packets. The Filter box of the RITM-ETH-RAW RX block is used to enter an expression that will be used to compile the library filters.

A PCAP filter is a string consisting of a set of primitives. The set of primitives determines which packets will be accepted. A primitive contains an identifier and one or more qualifiers.

Three types of qualifiers are defined:

type - the qualifier defines the type of the identifier name or number.

Possible values are: host (host), net (network), port (port) or portrange (port range). In the absence of a qualifier, host is assumed by default.
dir - qualifier defines the direction of information transmission relative to the object defined by the identifier.

Possible values: src (sender), dst (receiver), src and dst (sender and receiver), src or dst (sender or receiver). The value by default is src or dst.
proto - qualifier defines conformity to a certain protocol.

Possible values: ether, fddi, ip, arp, rarp, decnet, lat, sca, moprc, mopdl, tcp and udp.

For example:

**ether src 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A** — захват сообщений от отправителя с MAC: **0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A**.

**dst net 192.168.56.0/24** — захват сообщений предназначенных для сети **192.168.56.0/24**.

**host 192.168.56.3** — захват сообщений предназначенных либо отправленных устройством с адресом **192.168.56.3**.

**ip icmp** — захват ICMP пакетов.

In addition to object identifiers and qualifiers, filters can contain the keywords gateway, broadcast, multicast, less, greater, as well as arithmetic expressions. For example:

ip multicast — захват ip пакетов, содержащих адреса из класса D.
less 1000 — захват кадров, у которых размер менее 1000 байт.

Primitives can be composed using logical operations:

I - and (&);
NOT - not (!);
ILI - or (||).

host foo and not port ftp and not port ftp-data

Conditions can be combined using brackets:

not (host ip1 or ip2)

Additional example expressions:

not (host 192.168.56.3 or 192.168.56.2) - Для отбрасывания пакетов, принадлежащих устройствам с ip  адресами 192.168.56.3 или 192.168.56.2.

host 192.168.0.1 or host 192.168.0.2 and tcp port 22 – Для захвата или любого трафика, принадлежащего хосту 192.168.0.1, или трафика протокола TCP и использующего порт 22, принадлежащего хосту 192.168.0.2.

(host 192.168.0.1 or host 192.168.0.2) and tcp port 22 – Для захвата трафика протокола TCP и использующего порт 22, принадлежащего хосту 192.168.0.1 или хосту 192.168.0.2 (любому из них, или обоим сразу).

ip host 192.168.56.2 and not 192.168.56.3 - Захват всех пакетов, идущих от или к 192.168.56.2, кроме пакетов от или к 192.168.56.3
