| Summary : Routines to help with network packet contruction and handling
|
Description :
Libnet is a high-level API (toolkit) allowing the application programmer to
construct and inject network packets. It provides a portable and simplified
interface for low-level network packet shaping, handling and injection.
Libnet hides much of the tedium of packet creation from the application
programmer such as multiplexing, buffer management, arcane packet header
information, byte-ordering, OS-dependent issues, and much more. Libnet
features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP layer and link layer,
as well as a host of supplementary and complementary functionality.
Using libnet, quick and simple packet assembly applications can be whipped up
with little effort. With a bit more time, more complex programs can be written
(Traceroute and ping were easily rewritten using libnet and libpcap).
