| Tool : Length Distribution Chart |
Packet Length Distribution ChartThis tool is part of a series of utilities meant to illustrate the use of the Unsniff Scripting API and to motivate you to write your own tools. Ever wonder about the sizes of packets that criss-cross your network ? Using the Unsniff Scripting API combined with the power of Ruby - you can quickly create powerful scripts to see for yourself. We present a utility written using the Unsniff Scripting API which looks at captured data and creates a Packet Length Distribution chart. This tool demonstrates usage of the Unsniff Scripting API, Ruby,UnleashCharts, and Fox-Ruby. Packet Length Distribution ChartQuick Info This tool demonstrates the following conceptsUsing the Unsniff Scripting API to loop over packets Using the Fox-Ruby toolkit to create GUI programs Using the free ruby charting library UnleashCharts to create bar charts This Ruby script uses the Unsniff Scripting API to create a bar-chart that shows distribution of packet lengths. This utility is written in the Ruby scripting language, using the Fox-Ruby GUI toolkit, and the free UnleashCharts charting library.  This script opens a capture file and loops over all captured packets. Each packet is assigned to a bucket based on its length. The rest of the code deals with interfacing with the Fx-Ruby toolkit and the UnleashCharts library. DownloadHow to run
