I want to write a program to send a ARP packet. Is there some method where I can load up all the hex as an array and then it just sends it off to a specified IP address? How would I do this? Could someone forward me to a good raw sockets tutorial or just show me how to do this (latter prefered, I learn faster with just code)?
Thanks
Something like this maybe:
A simple google search on this brought me to some example using ETH_P_ARPCode:
fd = socket( AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_ARP));
ARP-Request!!!!1

Do your own research, write some code, and ask *specific* questions pertaining to the problems you encounter. Don't just expect others to hand you everything on a silver platter.

You're whining.Quote:

Written back in the '90s? Hmm, most of the Kernel API has not changed much. Also if you are simply trying to compile a simple 'one off' ARP request/reply app, there should be no make files to contend with. I take it that you are bitting off more than you can chew here. Start off very simple and small.
