Safe rust idiomatic bindings for the Wintun C library: https://wintun.net
All features of the Wintun library are wrapped using pure rust types and functions to make usage feel ergonomic.
Inside your code load the wintun.dll signed driver file, downloaded from https://wintun.net,
using [load
], [load_from_path
] or [load_from_library
].
Then either call [Adapter::create
] or [Adapter::open
] to obtain a wintun
adapter. Start a session with [Adapter::start_session
].
```rust use std::sync::Arc;
//Must be run as Administrator because we create network adapters //Load the wintun dll file so that we can call the underlying C functions //Unsafe because we are loading an arbitrary dll file let wintun = wintun::loadfrompath("path/to/wintun.dll") .expect("Failed to load wintun dll");
//Try to open an adapter with the name "Demo" let adapter = match wintun::Adapter::open(&wintun, "Demo") { Ok(a) => a, Err() => { //If loading failed (most likely it didn't exist), create a new one wintun::Adapter::create(&wintun, "Demo", "Example", None) .expect("Failed to create wintun adapter!") } }; //Specify the size of the ring buffer the wintun driver should use. let session = Arc::new(adapter.startsession(wintun::MAXRINGCAPACITY).unwrap());
//Get a 20 byte packet from the ring buffer let mut packet = session.allocatesendpacket(20).unwrap(); let bytes: &mut [u8] = packet.bytes_mut(); //Write IPV4 version and header length bytes[0] = 0x40;
//Finish writing IP header bytes[9] = 0x69; bytes[10] = 0x04; bytes[11] = 0x20; //...
//Send the packet to wintun virtual adapter for processing by the system session.send_packet(packet);
//Stop any readers blocking for data on other threads //Only needed when a blocking reader is preventing shutdown Ie. it holds an Arc to the //session, blocking it from being dropped session.shutdown();
//the session is stopped on drop //drop(session);
//drop(adapter) //And the adapter closes its resources when dropped ```
See examples/wireshark.rs
for a more complete example that writes received packets to a pcap
file.
panic_on_unsent_packets
: Panics if a send packet is dropped without being sent. Useful for
debugging packet issues because unsent packets that are dropped without being sent hold up
