libnet version 1.0.2a

libnet version 1.0.2a

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 both 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).

Comments:

Before you install the software, make sure you change the libnet.h file in the include directory. The file contains the following lines:
#if (!LIBNET_LIL_ENDIAN && !LIBNET_BIG_ENDIAN)
#error "byte order has not been specified, youll
need to #define either LIBNET_LIL_ENDIAN or LIBNET_BIG_ENDIAN. See the
documentation regarding the libnetconfig script."
#endif
Make sure that the error message is on one line, instead off 3.
