Why this blog?

The obvious question is why this blog? Well, this isn’t for you, its for me. In these holidays (which are coming to an end) I learnt, and am learning so much, but am also forgetting a lot. So, this blog is to help me remember. This will be a personal cum super technical blog, technical being dealing with complex stuff, mainly networking related, especially networking in C.

Its a shame that soo.. so… few references are available for low level networking. Any1 who needs that interface really needs to work themselves from ground up, which is kinda sad, when you think about it. I had the same problem.But since yesterday, I worked myself up this ladder, and atlast, I am in a position where I have all I need to understand the topic.

This blog is mainly for posting daily notes about those topics. For people who understand what I am doing (alot of ethernet and IP protocol and packets programming), reading this blog, you will be grateful to me for making it. But I know no1 reads about this stuff. No1 bothers how stuff works below, as long as @ high level, stuff is as simple as a button click.

Here is the libnet library which is my main/ultimate reference. Unlike the libnet in linux, which is precompiled, this 1 is source, so you could actually explore it, and generate routines by yourself even without libnet. But a hearty thanx to the creator of libnet. And I’d be ever so in debt to him.

Here’s a copy of libnet source: http://rapidshare.com/files/41646085/libnet-1.0.1b.tar.gz.html

And so, the experiment starts.
