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).
