Create gopacket's packetSource using s3 files

Question content

When I get the pcap file from the s3 client, I need to generate the packetsource of gopacket to read the packets in it. But I only found the openofflinefile function in gopacket documentation, how can I generate packetsource with []byte (read from s3 file).

I have read the source code of the openofflinefile function in gopacket, but I am still confused because I am not familiar with uintptr, can I directly generate a unitptr with []byte and then use it to generate packetsource?

func openOffline(file string) (handle *Handle, err error) {
    err = LoadWinPCAP()
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    buf := make([]byte, errorBufferSize)
    f, err := syscall.BytePtrFromString(file)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    var cptr uintptr
    if pcapOpenOfflineWithTstampPrecisionPtr == 0 {
        cptr, _, _ = syscall.Syscall(pcapOpenOfflinePtr, 2, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(f)), uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&buf[0])), 0)
    } else {
        cptr, _, _ = syscall.Syscall(pcapOpenOfflineWithTstampPrecisionPtr, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(f)), uintptr(pcapTstampPrecisionNano), uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&buf[0])))
    }

    if cptr == 0 {
        return nil, errors.New(byteSliceToString(buf))
    }

    h := &Handle{cptr: pcapTPtr(cptr)}
    return h, nil
}

Correct answer

Try github.com/google/gopacket/pcapgo

If the github.com/google/gopacket/pcapgo package supports this file format, consider using it as it is easy:

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "io"
    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/google/gopacket"
    "github.com/google/gopacket/layers"
    "github.com/google/gopacket/pcapgo"
)

func main() {
    f, err := os.open("test.pcap")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    // as described in the question, buf is read from s3 file. in order to
    // make this demo simple and executable, we read it from a local file.
    buf, err := io.readall(f)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // convert []byte into a reader. the s3 client should give us a reader
    // that we can use directly in the place of the filereader. try the best
    // to avoid reading the response as []byte and then convert it into a reader.
    filereader := bytes.newreader(buf)

    r, err := pcapgo.newreader(filereader)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    source := gopacket.newpacketsource(r, layers.layertypeethernet)

    for packet := range source.packets() {
        log.printf("%v", packet)
    }
}

Use os.pipe with github.com/google/gopacket/pcap

If github.com/google/gopacket/pcapgo does not support the file format and we must use github.com/google/gopacket/pcap, the solution is to create one Pipe and pass the r file to pcap.openofflinefile:

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "io"
    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/google/gopacket"
    "github.com/google/gopacket/layers"
    "github.com/google/gopacket/pcap"
)

func main() {
    f, err := os.Open("test.pcap")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    // As described in the question, buf is read from S3 file. In order to
    // make this demo simple and executable, we read it from a local file.
    buf, err := io.ReadAll(f)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    r, w, err := os.Pipe()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    go func() {
        // Convert []byte into a reader. The S3 client should give us a reader
        // that we can use directly in the place of the fileReader. Try the best
        // to avoid reading the response as []byte and then convert it into a reader.
        fileReader := bytes.NewReader(buf)
        _, err := io.Copy(w, fileReader)
        defer w.Close()
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
    }()

    handle, err := pcap.OpenOfflineFile(r)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    source := gopacket.NewPacketSource(handle, layers.LayerTypeEthernet)

    for packet := range source.Packets() {
        log.Printf("%v", packet)
    }
}

Comments:

1. This was only tested on linux. But it should work on windows.
2. github.com/google/gopacket/pcap is a wrapper for libpcap (or winpcap or npcap on windows) . That's why using []byte or io.reader is a bit complicated.
3. When you download a file from s3, the client should provide you with a reader. You can use the reader directly (see comments in my demo). Avoid reading the reader's content yourself.
