[Need help] Remote server doesn't respond to modified SYNC TCP packet
I am trying to modify IP destination address for all outgoing packets. Currently trying this on VirtualBox Ubuntu guest (kernel version 3.8.0) on Windows 7.
In my program below I built a hash table to map fake ip addresses to real ip addresses (google, ncsu etc.), for example, 100.100.100.100 maps to google, 100.100.100.101 maps to something else.
From wireshark I can see the TCP SYNC packets were successfully modified and sent to google when I put 'http://100.100.100.100' in a web browser, also checksums of TCP and IP packets are correct calculated. However there is no [SYNC, ACK] packets coming back from google, neither does any error message. I also tried other servers they also don't respond.
Does anyone have idea what might be wrong here ? Any suggestion is well appreciated.
