# 10. Design notes
The arguments given to the ping command define which actions the test tool will perform
and when these actions are performed. Each action is separated by a comma (`,`). By default
an action is performed after the client connected, and in that case a single letter represents
which action is performed. Note that this is implemented in the
[`stract2action`](https://github.com/vanhoefm/fragattacks/blob/master/research/fragattack.py#L23)
function. Possible actions are:
- `I`: obtain an IP address. By default is is done using DHCP, unless an IP address is explicitly
provided using the `--ip` and `--peerip` arguments, in which case nothing is done.
- `E`: inject an encrypted packet/fragment of the ping request.
- `P`: inject a plaintext packet/fragment of the ping request.
- `F`: refresh the session key by initiation the 4-way handshake (as an AP) or waiting for the
4-way handshake (as a client).
- `R`: let the client reconnect to the network.
- `D`: this is a special "meta action". Treat this like an empty fragment of the ping request
that is not actually sent.
If there is only a single `E` or `P` action, then the ping request is injected as a single frame.
If there are multiple `E`, `P` actions, then the ping request is fragmented, where the number
of fragments equal the number of `E` or `P` actions. If there is the special `D` action, then
the ping request is fragmented over the remaining `E` or `P` actions (see the examples in the table).
This fragmentation behavior is implemented in the [PingTest](https://github.com/vanhoefm/fragattacks/blob/master/research/tests_common.py#L47)
class.
A letter can be put in front of the above actions to change when the action should be performed:
- `S`: the action is performed on the 1st or 2nd message of the 4-way handshake.
- `B`: the action is performed on the 3rd or 4th message of the 4-way handshake.
- `A`: the action is performed immediately after the 4-way handshake completed.
- `C`: the action is performed 1 second after the 4-way handshake completed. The amount of seconds
to wait can be changed by using the `--connected-delay` parameter.
For example see the above two tables with commands.

**Version 1.3.4 (under progress):**:

- Updated the modified drivers so they compile on Linux kernel 5.13 as well. This is experimental.
- Updated the README with an example on how to install an older supported kernel on Ubuntu 20.04.
- Made the injection test more reliable by waiting longer for frames in the reorder test.
- Made several minor changes to make the code easier to compile on older platforms (that have older Python
version and OpenSSL libraries).
- Updated the README with an example on how to install an older supported kernel on Ubuntu 20.04. Added
design notes. Now recommending the AWUS036ACM.
**Version 1.3.3 (11 May 2021)**:
