How can i make my own assemble/disassemble network packets in perl and would that be raw socket. I know there a tool like netpacket out there but i want to make my own tools.
Within a few minutes of this post, "whiteghost" on Freenode #perl asked: 
<whiteghost> How would i assemble/disassemble network packets in perl?

The writing style is very similar (historically in both cases), so I can't say for certain that this is the same person, but I'd bet a month's rent on it. The thing is, from this other IRC comment he made: 
<whiteghost> i ry to thng of a tool i can make for exploit bugs in win
+dows but can't think of one right now.

we've all pretty much written him off as a "cracker-wannabe".

So, do what you wish in response to this post, but know that there's a growing group of folks that won't help him.

update: I have strong reason to believe that packet is the same person as well, based on timing of messages here, in email, and on IRC.
