Package: libnet1 (1.1.2.1-2)

library for the construction and handling of network packets

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).

This package contains the shared library.
