Simon Fell > Its just code > Raw sockets got the raw deal in XP SP2

Friday, August 20, 2004

IanG talks about what happened to raw sockets in XP SP2, he mentions that you can still do what you could do with raw sockets by writing an NDIS driver, I seem to recall from my time with winpcap, that they've already done that, and it has an API for injecting traffic onto the network. Hacker's won't have to write anything, just get winpcap installed. repeat after me, you can't put the genie back in the bottle, you can't put the genie back in the bottle, you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
