Glenn 71f697b974 feat: Add CPack packaging support for igmpgen 
Updated `CMakeLists.txt` to integrate CPack, enabling the creation of
RPM and DEB packages for the igmpgen project. Key changes include:

- Project name updated for consistency.
- Installation target set for the executable.
- CPack configuration added for RPM, DEB, and TGZ packages, including essential metadata.

This enhancement facilitates easier distribution and deployment of
igmpgen across different platforms.

IGMP Packet Generator

Overview

The IGMP Packet Generator is a specialized tool designed for generating various types of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) packets.

This tool is particularly useful for network administrators, developers, and researchers involved in testing and analyzing multicast network protocols.

Features

  • Support for Multiple IGMP Versions: Compatible with IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3.
  • Variety of IGMP Packets: Capable of generating Query, Report, Leave, and other IGMP packet types.
  • Customizable Packet Parameters: Allows setting of source/destination IPs, ports, and multicast groups.
  • Router Alert Option: Implements the Router Alert IP option (IPOPT_RA).

Requirements

  • Unix-like operating system.
  • libnet library
  • CMake for building the project.

For debian/ubuntu, simply type:

sudo apt-get install cmake libnet1-dev

Install

Clone the Repository (if applicable):

git clone [repository-url]
cd igmpgen

Build with CMake:

Create a build directory:

mkdir _build && cd _build

Run CMake and build the project:

cmake ..
cmake --build .

Install binaries

cmake ..
cmake --install .

Usage

After building, you can run igmpgen with the necessary command-line arguments:

Command-Line Arguments

IGMP packet generator

Usage: ./igmpgen [options]

Options:
  -i <interface>   Specify the network interface (e.g., eth0)
  -t <type>        Specify the IGMP packet type and version (e.g., 1.query)
  -g <group>       Specify the IGMP group (e.g., 224.0.0.1)
  -s <source>      Specify the source IP and port (e.g., 192.168.1.1:1234)
  -d <destination> Specify the destination IP and port (e.g., 224.0.0.2:5678)
  -n <number>      Specify delay between packets in seconds (optional)

Available IGMP packet types:
 - 1.query
 - 1.report
 - 1.dvmrp
 - 2.query
 - 2.report
 - 2.leave
 - 3.report

Example

Generate an IGMPv2 Membership Report for group 224.0.0.1 on eth0:

./igmpgen -i eth0 -g 224.0.0.1 -t 2.report
