SC_IPIDDUMP(1)

πŸ’– sc_ipiddump β€” the manual, but make it make sense πŸ’–

okay so bestie, this is sc_ipiddump, from the General Commands Manual section 1 (that's the "type this in your terminal" section, iykyk). She's a little utility whose whole personality is dumping IP-ID values that are hiding inside ping, traceroute, and dealias objects in warts files. no cap, that's the whole job. πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sc_ipiddump [-i ips] [-O options] [-U userid] [file ...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like. sc_ipiddump dumps the IP-ID values that are embedded in IPv4 and IPv6 responses to ping, traceroute, and dealias objects. that's the vibe. πŸ’…

The output has, in order, the following little lineup:

  • the transit and receive timestamps
  • the source address that scamper used when probing
  • the interface address which replied
  • the IPID value β€” and it's in hexadecimal, bestie, so don't be shocked when you see letters in a number πŸ¦‹

The objects are sorted by transmit time. very organized of them, honestly. the supported options to sc_ipiddump are as follows:

  • -i ip β€” restricts the selection of source addresses to those with the given IP address(es).
  • -O options β€” lets the behavior of sc_ipiddump be further tailored. the current choice for this option is:
    • notrace β€” do not parse traceroutes for IPID values.
  • -U userid β€” restricts the selection of warts objects to those with the given userid(s).

🫢 EXAMPLES 🫢

okay so say you have an input file foo.warts. this next command dumps the IP-ID values found in objects with userid values 3 and 4:

sc_ipiddump -U 3,4 foo.warts

and say your input file is foo.warts.gz instead. this command dumps the IP-ID values found in responses from IP address 192.0.2.1:

zcat foo.warts.gz | sc_ipiddump -i 192.0.2.1 -

note that trailing - doing the absolute most, standing in for stdin like a main character. πŸ‘‘
