hi i m writing a small kernel module for a college project.wat i want to do is that if the source address of the packet matches a particular ip and the port is telnet i change the source address in the packet to my address.i intercept the packet from net_rx_action in net/core/dev.c make changes to the source address and checksum and then let the packet go up the stack.But the packet is dropped all the time.Because i guess of a check in the linux kernel that prevents packets with source address of the host machine to go up the stack. this is to prevent ip spoofing. now i want to bypass it. how do i do it? thanks in advance vaibhav 4th yr student IIT Bombay -- - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
