- Libnet is a high-level API (toolkit) allowing the application
- programmer to construct and inject network packets. It provides a
- portable and simplified interface for low-level network packet
- shaping, handling and injection. Libnet hides much of the tedium
- of packet creation from the application programmer such as
- multiplexing, buffer management, arcane packet header
- information, byte-ordering, OS-dependent issues, and much more.
- Libnet features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP
- layer and link layer, as well as a host of supplementary and
- complementary functionality. Using libnet, quick and simple
- packet assembly applications can be whipped up with little
- effort. With a bit more time, more complex programs can be
- written (Traceroute and ping were easily rewritten using libnet
- and libpcap).
