generating ethernet packets

generating ethernet packets

[Massimiliano Cialdi]

I need to generate custom ethernet packets. I want to test a protocol.
How can I send my custom ethernet packets through the network? Do I need libpcap?

thanks

u can find a tool named nemesis in packetfactory.net..
after installing it u can generate custom ethernet traffic.
If u want to do it on your own u can use raw sockets.
otherwise u can use libnet

How can I generate an ethernet frame (with custom payload) with raw sockets?

Open a raw socket using the socket function.
Then use write to put the packet on the wire.

iirc there are 100's of example on doing this

Which parameters do I need to pass to socket()?

How can I be sure that the datas will go on eth0 and not on ppp0?

where are all these examples?

it is also possible to generate an ethernet frame with wrong crc?

thanks

Mailing lists aren't for saving you from asking some search engines. Try
this and read the first 20 hits.

Don't *ask*! That's something that you can easily try after getting your
basic program ready. Just prepare a wrongly CRCed frame and try to send
it. While doing so, let a tcpdump run on the local machine as well as on
some remote machine.

Oh, and results may be surprising.

 Probably, the combination of ping's  "-p" and "-s" option can send custom 
packets.
