How to fake source ip-address of a udp-packet?

Hi everyone! Think about the following: Your ISP offers you a dynamic ip-address (for example 123.123.123.123). My question is simple (the answer may not be): Is it possible to send a single udp-packet with an outer source-ip (for example 124.124.124.124) to a fixed-ip server? I don't need to get a answer from the server. I just want ...

Reading UDP Packets

I am having some trouble dissecting a UDP packet. I am receiving the packets and storing the data and sender-address in variables 'data' and 'addr' with: data,addr = UDPSock.recvfrom(buf) This parses the data as a string, that I am now unable to turn into bytes. I know the structure of the datagram packet which is a total of 28 bytes,...

Receiving data with Winsock

Right now, I'm programming the networking for my online game, and I'm not really sure what to do about receiving data. The problem is that I can't really guess the packet's size, so I thought of reading just 4 bytes from the packet and converting them to an int to know what's the packet's size. Then I'll just create a buffer in that siz...

Capturing network traffic in ruby - pcap related issues

What I need is to write very simple application, which would listen to network traffic, filter out some packets based on various layer 4/5 information and then dump those information into database. I am quite confused on which pcap gem/plugin should I use. The basic pcap implemention seem to be a bit outdated (no changes since 2001) and...

Things that concern us are web service authentication, SOAP, and whether or not to store the database on the DMZ or the local network. This...

Good books for learning advanced network topics (eg VOIP, MPLS, VPN, QoS) ?

Not sure if this is an appropriate question as it isn't directly programming related, but since understanding those is sometimes necessary for programmers, I believe it is a valid question, so I'm posting it. Anyway, I want to learn some of the more advanced topics that you normally don't find in introductory network books, such as the ...

iPhone - How do I find the MAC address of the connected WiFi access point?

Without using the private APIs, is it possible to programatically determine the MAC address of the access point that the iPhone is connected to? I understand that this should be doable using the core BSD libraries, but we are new to this, so it would be great if someone can point us to some starter code. Note: we're trying to determine...
