sending arp packets in C / C++

IdealVithVodka · 04-05-2010, 07:27 PM

Hi,

I'm looking for a way how to send an arp request / reply packet using C or C++. I've written an application that can send different crafted packages using jpcap (java), but I'm not a C expert (trying to learn). The reason for this is that I would like to port my java program to C to use it on a less powerful system that can't fully cope with the resource hungry VM.

Any suggestions ?? Examples maybe ??

Thank You

With Kind Regards

Hi -

You could do worse than look at the source for the standard "arp" command itself:

Jpcap is based on libpcap/winpcap.

You can also use the packet socket interface, see the "packet" man page.
