A C library for portable packet creation and injection
======================================================
Libnet is an API to help with the construction and handling of network
packets. It provides a portable framework for low-level network packet
writing and handling (use libnet in conjunction with libpcap and you can
write some really cool stuff). Libnet includes packet creation at the
IP layer and at the link layer as well as a host of supplementary and
complementary functionality. Libnet is very handy with which to write
network tools and network test code. See the manpage and sample test
code for more detailed information.
Online documentation is available at https://codedocs.xyz/libnet/libnet/
> **NOTE:** Legacy code written for *libnet-1.0.x* WILL NOT WORK with
> *libnet-1.1.x* or later. See [MIGRATION](doc/MIGRATION)
> for porting legacy code.
Building
--------
Libnet employs the GNU configure and build system. The release tarballs
ship with a pre-built `configure` script. To list available options,
type <kbd>./configure --help</kbd>
When checking out the code from GitHub, use <kbd>./autogen.sh</kbd> to
generate a `configure` script. For this you need the full suite of the
GNU autotools: autoconf (>=2.69), automake (>=1.14), libtool (>=2.4.2).
On Debian/Ubuntu systems:
sudo apt install autoconf automake libtool
To build the documentation (optional) you need doxygen and pod2man:
sudo apt install doxygen pod2man
For neat graphics in the HTML documentation, also install graphviz.
There is also a PDF version of the docs, to build that you need quite a
few more packages:
sudo apt install texlive-extra-utils texlive-latex-extra \
texlive-fonts-recommended latex-xcolor \
texlive-font-utils
Fior Microsoft CHM docs you need the HTML Help Workshop, which is part
of Visual Studio: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=154968, on
UNIX and GNU/Linux systems, see `chmcmd`, which is available in the
[FreePascal](http://www.freepascal.org/) suite:
sudo apt install fp-utils-3.0.4
Origin & References
-------------------
Libnet is widely used, but had become unmaintained at packetfactory.net,
and its author is unreachable. This version was forked from the 1.1.3
release candidate from packetfactory.net, then bug fixed, actively
maintained, and rereleased.
Use GitHub issues and pull request feature for questions and patches:
http://github.com/libnet/libnet
