Package: libnet0 (1.0.2a-7)

library for the construction and handling of network packets (obsolete)

libnet provides a portable framework for low-level network packet writing and handling.

Libnet features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP layer and link layer, as well as a host of supplementary 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).

NOTE: This version of libnet is to be considered obsolete, it is not maintained anymore. Please use libnet 1.1.x instead.
