Pka2xml

Convert Packet Tracer network simulation pka and pkt files into XML and vice versa.

For more information you can read this short blog post that explains how I managed to write the utility.

Coming Soon

• Patches for versions other than 7.3.1 on linux
• UI version
• Reverse module encryption algorithm

Building

Building with Docker

docker build -t pka2xml:1.0.0 . && docker run -it pka2xml:1.0.0

Building manually

To build a static binary:

make static-install

To build a dynamic binary:

make dynamic-install

pka2xml

usage: pka2xml [ options ]

where options are:
  -d <in> <out>   decrypt pka/pkt to xml
  -e <in> <out>   encrypt pka/pkt to xml

  -f <in> <out>   allow packet tracer file to be read by any version

  -nets <in>      decrypt packet tracer "nets" file
  -logs <in>      decrypt packet tracer log file

  --forge <out>   forge authentication file to bypass login


examples:
  pka2xml -d foobar.pka foobar.xml
  pka2xml -e foobar.xml foobar.pka
  pka2xml -nets $HOME/packettracer/nets
  pka2xml -logs $HOME/packettracer/pt_12.05.2020_21.07.17.338.log

PacketTracer (patch.c)

Launch PacketTracer with the following patches:

• bypass login screen
• display all activities as completed
• unlock all previously locked interfaces
• don't reset activity on user change

graph.py

Given an xml file of a Packet Tracer Network Simulation, generates a graph of the entire network.
