    LOWEST level packet writing

    How do you write a single packet. The whole packet. LIke the header and everything. I would like to get as low level as possible.

    The header and everything? I'm not sure, but I heard that it's impossible on anything exept 2K and XP..

    Although your ISP will probably kill you for doing so..

    Actually I think it is only XP that supports raw packets. If you ask me it was stupid of MS to put it in there because now it will take even less for script kiddis to mess things up. It always been possible to do it but it toke some knowledge. And I will not tell you have to do it

    im guessing you dont know how to do it eitehr... and its raw sockets not packets... as for all of grc's squealing what has been different since xp's release? script kiddies arent smart enough to understand how sending forged packets can be helpful(and yes it does take skill since your basically shooting in the dark)... they are content to run their sub7...

    Because raw data sockets can be very dangerous.
    For example...
    1.) If you don't know what your doing, upsetting the data stream in a PPP connection will crash it.
    2.) If you know what your doing, and accept your a little b*&&h, you can lessen to other connection.
