Types

The type is the list of format encapsulated within the D4 protocol.

8 passivedns CSV stream
254 type defined by meta header (type 2)

The D4 type list is available in JSON format.

Meta types (via meta header)

Sample meta type JSON (type 2). If a new session is open, before sending D4 packet type 254, a type 2 packet MUST be sent to describe to the D4 server how to decode packets. A meta header payload contains a single JSON object which describes the next packet to be decoded as type 254 in the stream. The JSON object MUST at least contain a type field.
