in thread p0fq.pl and pack?

Is Perl really not good at this low level packet handling things?

Any other languages would have the same problem. The reason it's hard it's because p0f uses an undocumented communication format that varies from machine to machine.

I did adjust the bigendian to little endian on PC.

I thought that if you didn't specify one, it would use the machine's native byte order. Are you sure you need to specify the ByteOrder and alignments?

The pack did pack src, dst ip into query , but response always says no connection

IP addresses are usually big endian (i.e. in the same order as in dotted form) on all systems.

01 01 A8 C0
should be
C0 A8 01 01
(192.168.1.1)

Use tag to mark the appropriate fields as big endian. That means you should have:

my $c = Convert::Binary::C->new(); eval { $c->parse_file("p0f-query.h"); 1 } or die("Unable to parse p0f-query.h: $@\n"); $c->tag('p0f_query.src_ad', ByteOrder => 'BigEndian'); $c->tag('p0f_query.dst_ad', ByteOrder => 'BigEndian'); $c->tag('p0f_response.genre', Format => 'String'); $c->tag('p0f_response.detail', Format => 'String'); $c->tag('p0f_response.link', Format => 'String'); $c->tag('p0f_response.tos', Format => 'String');

The port might need to be big endian too.

    ah, you rock!
    $c->tag('p0f_query.src_ad', ByteOrder => 'BigEndian'); $c->tag('p0f_query.dst_ad', ByteOrder => 'BigEndian');
    works for my PC.

    I just commented ByteOrder, the native system endaness is used as you mentioned. but I have to specify Alignment, strange.

    It still does not work for OS X, I guess I need to adjust some other parameters.
