Network Packet Composer

Is a software to create network packets from scratch for testing purposes.

Minimal functionality in first alpha version

Be able to:

• Show a row of fields where one field has
  • A name
  • A description
  • A size in bit (values greater are just cut off)
  • A value (input in hex)
• Convert this row of fields to a binary array through RAB (RandomAccessBinary)
• Show the created binary array in hex

Second alpha version

Be able to:

• Use integer as value input, not hex
• Restrict field input with regular expressions
• Write the binary to file (through proper interfaces which may be replaced by sending through the network!)
• Highlight current field inside the shown binary in hex

Third alpha version

• Allow also text as value input for data payload
  • Means also having a special marked field for payload data (checkbox?)
• Write and read field structure in YAML to disk

Fourth alpha version

• Create multiple structures, meaning protocol stacks
• Write network send logic

Fifth alpha version

• Optimize
• Think about next additional features
• Release beta

First beta - TODO
