[Winpcap-users] Sending packets upwards (to local IP stack)

[Bengt Werstén]

Hi, 

 

Thanks for the reply. I might have found a way around this but I'm not sure if it is a standardized behavior. By sending a message with WinPcap with the same source and destination MAC as the network card (adapter) I send it to it seems to never leave the card (no traffic on the cable) but rather bounce back to the Windows IP-stack. I have only tested with one adapter so far so I need to know if this is something to rely upon. Any ideas?

 

Best regards,

Bengt

It's not possible with WinPcap. With WinPcap you can only send/receive packets to/from the lower layer i.e. usually the network card. In order to inject packets back to the IP stack you would probably need an NDIS intermediate (IM) driver, or a virtual miniport.

 

Have a nice day

	Hi,

	 

	I'm trying to replay messages from machines located on a VPN connection by spoofing their IP when sending the packages. It works fins because we send the packages to our self and the router/switch will return the message that we sent back to us. But I do not want to rely on this and some packages are of multicast type so other machines might get them and they have no valid route to the source IP. What I wonder is if it is possible to generate a package only to our local machine but instead create an incoming message instead of an outgoing. Is this possible? 

	 

	Best regards,

	Bengt Werstén
