DhcpDotNet

DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 packet implemented with C#. Build DHCP-packages with nearly all possibilities. DhcpDotNet allows the programming of a DHCPv4/DHCPv6 server or client with full controll. DhcpDotNet was created according to the specifications of IANA and RFC 2131, 4388, 1531, 8415 and 3315.

• Build DHCP Packets
• Send DHCP Packets (via UdpClient or Socket (advanced: sharppcap or Pcap.Net)
• Receive DHCP Packets
• Parse DHCP Packets
• Read parsed Packets

Example Projects

See the Examples folder for a range of examples using DhcpDotNet.
As an example project you can look at DhcpSharp. DhcpSharp is a very basic DHCPv4 server programmed with DhcpDotNet.

Usage Example

Example of a DHCPv4 Discover package. The payload can be sent with a UdpClient or socket. (or using SharpPcap or Pcap.Net)

Socket sock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
IPAddress serverAddr = IPAddress.Parse("192.168.2.1");
IPEndPoint endPoint = new IPEndPoint(serverAddr, 67);

DHCPv4Option dhcpMessageTypeOption = new DHCPv4Option
{
    optionId = DHCPv4OptionIds.DhcpMessageType,
    optionLength = 0x01,
    optionValue = new byte[] { 0x02 },
};

DHCPv4Option dhcpServerIdentifierOption = new DHCPv4Option
{
    optionId = DHCPv4OptionIds.ServerIdentifier,
    optionLength = 0x04,
    optionValue = IPAddress.Parse("").GetAddressBytes(),
};

DHCPv4Packet dhcpPacket = new DHCPv4Packet
{
    op = 0x02,
    htype = 0x01,
    hlen = 0x06,
    xid = new byte[] {0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03 },
    secs = 0x00,
    ciaddr = IPAddress.Parse("").GetAddressBytes(),
    yiaddr = IPAddress.Parse("").GetAddressBytes(),
    siaddr = IPAddress.Parse("").GetAddressBytes(),
    chaddr = PhysicalAddress.Parse("").GetAddressBytes(),
    dhcpOptions = dhcpMessageTypeOption.buildDhcpOption().Concat(dhcpServerIdentifierOption.buildDhcpOption()).ToArray(),
};

byte[] send_buffer = dhcpDiscoveryPacket.buildPacket();
sock.SendTo(send_buffer, endPoint);

Latest Version and Changelog

Version: 2.0.5

V 2.0.5
- Changed NuGet licence

V 2.0.4
- Fixed missing code in parsePacket-Method

V 2.0.3
- Full support for DHCPv6. Fixed several performance down grades. Switch from linq to Binary reader/writer.

V 2.0.2
- Renamed class and methods with "v4". Dhcp with IPv6 comming soon...

V. 2.0.1
- Added dhcpOption parsing support. DhcpDotNet is now able to parse incoming DhcpPackets and their DhcpOptions. You can read each DhcpOption cotained in a DhcpPacket. This allows you to read all information provided by the options above listed.
- Renamed DhcpPacket-Bytes. Each byte or byte-array in a DhcpPacket is now named as in the RFC 2132.
- Added the possibility to define DhcpOptions with an enmu or single byte. This offers more flexibility and simplicity at the same time.
