Network Comm

[inuyaga]

Hey i need a way to use the network without using winsock. I was wondering how i would go about this. c++ and asm code both work. But i would like c++ better.

Can you be more specific? I don't understand why you don't want to use sockets?! :confused:

I need to be able to gain device access so i can modify all incoming and outgoing packets also i need to beable to send packets not supported by sockets

Hmm.. You probably need to do kernel development if you want to intercept and modify all kind of network packets. You probably need to implement a NDIS kernel driver.

Win32 kernel development is not easy. If you have the money, I suggest you to invest them in a good kernel driver dev toolkit. There are several toolkits out on the market. One toolkit is SoftICE Driver Suite from Compuware: http://www.compuware.com/products/driverstudio/softice.htm
Their toolkit (or driver framework) provides C++ classes, wizards and more... Have a look.

Good luck,
Jonas

Some directions:

1) Look at "raw sockets" usage.
2) Look at completed solution http://winpcap.polito.it/.

You can't modify packets with winpcap.
