< New Libnet(1.0.2a) Win32 DLL >
< Win32 Packet Compiling Environment >
What is this about ?
====================
First off, some propaganda : There is new stuff on www.securitybugware.org,
Irib put up the security bug search engine, try it out !
Now on Libnet, this network packet construction library was initially released
for Windows by Ryan of eeye security team. We're bringing you a new release,
with much improvment :
- 100 % compatible code with libnet/unix, which means a unique source tree
to compile your beloved tools under windows&unix. All libnet/unix functions are
supported.
- 100 % GPL raised and grown, this release was compiled with the MingWin
(2.95.2) gcc port, and comprehensible makefiles are provided to build your own
set of tools.
- Latest Libnet package (1.0.2a).
- Fully re-entrant "raw_socket" emulation via the link layer interface
with home-made arp cache.
- Memory leaks and various bugs fixed (i.e : proper checksum for the
ethernet header when using raw sockets, memory freed on closing the interface
...)
- Cleaner libnet source tree integration
What are the availabe package ?
===============================
Download libnetNT-1.2.0a.zip from www.securitybugware.org, to get the dll's, .a
and sources
Download PacketBuild-1.0.zip from www.securitybugware.org, to get your packet
compiling environment which includes : libnet library and sources, win-pcap
[1], MingWin [2] compiler distro ready to run
DON'T FORGET TO RUN THE WPCAP.EXE FILE TO INSTALL THE PACKET DRIVER (Rel 2.2)
[3].
How do I re-compile the libnetNT library and the test programs ?
================================================================
Get the "PacketBuild" package, open a DOS prompt, start the "compiler.bat"
batch, move to the "libnet" directory and run :
- make -f makefile.win -> to build the library
- make -f makefile.test-> to build the three test programs : link layer
test program, raw sockets test program and packet library test program (to
display adapter names).
Why did you put a "packet" file which looks the same as "packet.dll" in the sys
dir ?
================================================================================
As you could notice the libnet dll is linked with wpcap which is itself linked
to the packet dll. However the gcc build provided (via cygwin compiler) missed
to specify the .dll extension for packet, and since I was too lasy to recompile
it with the proper flags we just copy and paste that dll omiting the extension
in our program directory.
Hey this dosen't work on Windows 95/98/Me !!??
==============================================
Try recompiling the library adding "-DWIN95" to the CFLAGS directive, and
replacing the Windows 95/98 build of winpcap in the /lib directory [1]. No
guarantee.
