libnet10 - High-level API (toolkit) to construct and inject network packets
- 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).
This package contains an old and deprecated version of libnet. You need
it only if the software you are using hasn't been updated to work with
the newer version and the newer API.
