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.

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
:
