Have a look at Net::PCap and Net::PCapUtils, two modules that are very good for sniffing packets, as they rely on the `libpcap` library. That library also has (very limited) packet injection capabilities, so you might actually find this enough for your needs. If you have a BSD-based operating system, you might also find the other modules by Stephanie Wehner, Net::Divert and Net::ProxyMod helpfull, as they make modifying, injecting and sniffing packets very easy.

Net::RawIP has also a Pcap interface Net::RawIP::libpcap.	[reply]

thx alot first. but how should I recive a packet? example manpage gived is: `$a->ethnew("eth0"); $a->ethset(source => 'my.target.lan',dest =>'my.target.lan'); $a->ethsend; $p = $a->pcapinit("eth0","dst port 21",1500,30); $f = dump_open($p,"/my/home/log"); loop $p,10,\&dump,$f;` [download] where can I get a packet? when dump_open() ? Does it log the recved pack to /my/home/log? And always when I call $a->ethset(source => '111.111.111.2',dest =>'111.111.111.2'); error says can't look up mac addr, but if I give the max addr, it says undefind vararibles.	[reply] [d/l]

You will probably find this professor's discussion a good introduction. Perl Raw Sockets I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]
