Hi all. I'm trying to make a simple icmp sniffer by using SOCK_RAW. The code below works but ONLY if I first use the sendto() function. Does anybody knows why? Regards
from socket import * import select def recv(): while 1: if s in select.select([s],[],[],99)[0]: reply = s.recvfrom(2000)[0] print reply s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP) s.setsockopt(IPPROTO_IP, IP_HDRINCL, 1) s.sendto('test', ('127.0.0.1', 0)) # without this it doesn't work. recv() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
