JarCastingcommunity-id-java
This package provides a Java 8 implementation of the open Community ID flow hashing standard.
This library supports IPV4 and IPV6 addresses and TCP, UDP, and STCP network protocols. It does not support ICMP protocols.
How it works
The Community ID Generator creates a Community ID string by taking in a protocol, source IP address, source port, destination address, and destination port. It creates two IpPortPair objects and sorts them in a deterministic order. It then packs the necessary bytes in NBO order, and produces a 20-byte SHA1 digest. Then, base64 encodes it or turns it into a hexadecimal string depending on configuration. It appends the value to "1:" for version 1.
The Community ID generator is configurable to take in a seed value to be packed and encoded as well as a boolean for base64 encoding. Only the first two bytes of the seed value will be used in the Community ID.
Getting community-id-java
To add community-id-java to your Maven project, use the following:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.rapid7.communityid</groupId>
<artifactId>community-id-java</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
Example of creating a Community ID:
CommunityIdGenerator generator = new CommunityIdGenerator();
//The default constructor will set seed to 0 and base64 to true
String result = generator.generateCommunityId(Protocol.UDP,
InetAddress.getByName("192.168.1.52"), 54585, InetAddress.getByName("8.8.8.8"), 53);
result will look like:
"1:Q9We8WO3piVF8yEQBNJF4uiSVrI=".
