Hi All anyone knows how to write an ethernet frame into a device, in a way the operating system thinks is to be received?
Let me explain the issue: I am writing a software (for Linux only) which creates a tap device on machine A, reads the frames, encrypts and sends them via the network to the same software, listening on machine B , which writes the frame on its own tap device . Until reading the frame, sending, encrypting , receiving and decrypting, everything goes. (I'm using https://github.com/songgao/water , if you know something better, it would be WAY appreciated ) So the machine B reads the payload, does its job, and now I have a lovely ethernet frame, stored into a []byte variable. The next problem is now to write it to the operating system, in a way that the operating system behaves like it was received from the outside. I tried to use the "Write()" method implemented with the water library, but it simply doesn't works. What happens now is that , into this library the operation of write() is behaving as the frame was entering the device from the operating system, and not FOR the operating system, resulting the Read() thread to capture the frame again. So , my question is: anyone knows a library, or a way, to inject an ethernet frame into the OS as it was received from "outside"? many thanks.
