    Some Raw Packet questions

    EDIT: Well, I just started with some of the raw packet stuff in C, but I have a few questions.

    Can a socket using SOCK_RAW communicate with one using SOCK_STREAM? Just for testing and to learn about them I wanted to be able to send out packets and be able to recieve them so that I can access all the different fields to analyze, so to speak. I am pretty sure I could do this with both sockets using SOCK_RAW but I am still curious.


    Thanks

    In my opinion, you need to understand what you are doing, so I suggest you read this guide to raw socket programming: http://packetstorm.widexs.nl/program...raw_socket.txt
