libnet

Hi,

how can I access the raw data of the packets I have constructed with libnet?
I don't want to send those packets over an ip-Interface, I just want to have
them as binary data.

regards,
Ben

How about sending them via a tun/tap interface and reading
from the character device side?

Hi,

that would be possible, but not very nice, since I am using already a tun
device, an I would have to create a 2nd. If I want to use the IP-Layer, I
would also have to assign an ip to the tun device

That's right. So what? Just do it.

You have to pick the packets from the stream anyway, so
why not assigning an own subnet and routing them there?

If the packets are going to another interface, you can
use libpcap (& tcpdump, ethereal) to sniff them.

Hi,

if I did it that way, the ip packets would have the target address of my tun
device, an thats not what I want.
