I know how to sniff and store to a pcap file. I had look in to* *pcap_open_offline() function for opening a file, pcap_open_live() for opening a interface and pcap_inject() to inject. I couldn't find how to transfer the open file to inject function. And also how i can used the new radiotape for wireless with this. I had a look at http://penumbra.warmcat.com/_twk/tiki-index.php?page=packetspammer this code but in this the whole packet is generated in code. if there is any tool already do this job please give me the link.Have you looked at tcpreplay? Maybe it already does what you need...
Replaying traffic onto a wireless network is unfortunately a lot harder then it should be. From what I can tell, it seems to be NIC/driver dependent and hence I've pretty much punted on this for tcpreplay. Many combinations appear not possible. What I would recommend you look at is lorcon or libradiate to actually inject frames onto 802.11 networks. Maybe one of these days I'll use lorcon in tcpreplay, but my access to hardware is limited so testing tends to be a problem. -- Aaron Turner http://synfin.net/ http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/ - Pcap editing and replay tools for Unix & Windows Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
