Re: Send your consturcted packet

Well, I already posted links to some code for you...  Libnet is all about constructing raw packets, and shows you pretty much all you need to know to do it...  Also, if you search here for something like "raw packet" you will find lots of code posted in the forums, as well...

As for what the checksum function does, well it calculates a checksum of the packet...  This is just a hash value of (parts of) the packet contents, which is used by the receiver of the packet to verify that it hasn't become corrupt during transit...  You can find code for that right here in the forums as well, or inside the libnet source, too...
