I am trying to get ipv6 extension header from pcap packet using dpkt and print it out. But for some reason it didnt work. I have tried many different ways. here is the part of the code that cause the problem. is there anyone have an idea how to solve this? p.s there is lack of example code regarding dpkt for ipv6
# For each packet in the pcap process the contents
for ts, buf in pcap:
# Unpack the Ethernet frame (mac src/dst, ethertype)
eth = dpkt.ethernet.Ethernet(buf)
# Make sure the Ethernet frame contains an IP packet
# EtherType (IP, ARP, PPPoE, IP6... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EtherType)
if eth.type != dpkt.ethernet.ETH_TYPE_IP6:
print 'Non IP Packet type not supported %s\n' % eth.data.__class__.__name__
continue
# Now unpack the data within the Ethernet frame (the IP packet)
# Pulling out src, dst, length, fragment info, TTL, and Protocol
ipv6 = eth.data
fh = dpkt.ip.IP_PROTO_FRAGMENT
ic = dpkt.ip.IP_PROTO_ICMP6
icmpv6 = ipv6.data
# get src and dst ip address
src_ip = socket.inet_ntop(AF_INET6, ipv6.src)
dst_ip = socket.inet_ntop(AF_INET6, ipv6.dst)
# Analyzing pcap file offline
#if packet.haslayer(IPv6) and pkt[IPv6].nh == 44 and dpkt.ip6.IP6FragmentHeader.nxt==60 and dpkt.ip6.IP6HopOptsHeader.nxt == 58:
if ipv6.v == 6 and ipv6.nxt==44:
print ipv6.IP6FragmentHeader.nxt
UPDATE: when I use dpkt.ip6.IP6FragmentHeader i get this error
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'IP6FragmentHeader'
I want get the fragmentation header from this packet which is ICMPv6 wireshark packet
