Custom IP Header

[Ryanauger95]

Hi,

I am using pkt to create a custom ipv4 header:

 IpHeader_ = #ipv4{p = 1, saddr = {127,0,0,1}, daddr = {192,168,7,83}, len = byte_size(Icmp) + 20},
 IpHeader = pkt:ipv4(IpHeader_#ipv4{sum =  pkt:makesum(IpHeader_)})

Using a static icmp echo packet:  Packet = <<8,0,140,250,29,138,0,0,255,253,243,182,73,166,226,218,32,33,34,35,36,37,
       38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,
       62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79>>,

However, I am having issues sending the raw packet without the underlying protocol adding the header. I am following this blog here:http://blog.listincomprehension.com/2010/06/fun-with-raw-sockets-in-erlang-sending.html

which uses {ok, FD} = procket:listen(0, [{protocol, icmp}, {type, raw}, {family, inet}]) and then ok = procket:sendto(S, Packet, 0,
<<
?PF_INET:16/native, % sin_family
0:16, % sin_port
IP1:8, IP2:8, IP3:8, IP4:8, % sin_addr
0:64 % sin_zero
>>
),

But attempting to use procket:listen with those arguments gives an error, it seems like this repository has changed a bit since 2010!

So instead I've been using procket:open with those same options, {ok, FD} = procket:open(0, [{protocol, icmp}, {type, raw}, {family, packet}]),

but when i try to write or sendto i get an error enxio which corresponds to the device not existing...

I'm curious what you all think is the best route from here. I've hit a wall.

Thanks for your help!

Hey @piedpieper ! Your code worked without any changes for me on linux:

Running it:

Ping'ing the router:

And the tcpdump shows an ICMP echo reply:

What OS are you testing with?

But attempting to use procket:listen with those arguments gives an error, it seems like this repository has changed a bit since 2010!

I'm curious what you all think is the best route from here. I've hit a wall.

I've been meaning to update those old blog posts forever now. Sorry about that! Feel free to ask if you have any problems!
