get_iat and iat_cmp are software programs that can be utilized for extracting and analyzing packet inter arrival times in a straightforward way.
If you are looking for simple yet effective software to extract and analyze packet inter arrival times from a pcap network trace, look no further than get_iat and iat_cmp. These two small programs are easy to use and provide basic information that can be useful for network analysis.
The first program, get_iat, allows you to read one pcap file and output the inter arrival time and time difference for each packet. This can help you understand how long it takes for packets to arrive and how much time has elapsed since the first packet was received. Overall, get_iat is a straightforward tool for analyzing packet inter arrival times.
The second program, iat_cmp, allows you to compare multiple pcap files and see how their inter arrival times differ. This is done by sorting the inter arrival time difference into buckets, which can be configured manually in the source code. While this program is more complex than get_iat, it provides valuable insights into the differences between packet arrival times in different network traces.
One thing to note is that these programs have not been extensively tested, so you can expect crashes or other issues. However, they are relatively easy to install and use. Simply ensure that you have GNU make (gmake) and edit the Makefile to change the path to your libpcap installation. Then, run "make" followed by "make install" to start using get_iat and iat_cmp. Overall, these programs are a useful asset for anyone who needs to analyze packet inter arrival times in their network traces.
