Some of these tools include Scapy, Yersinia, and even WireShark. But why use these ez tools when you can painstakingly make your own. After taking UCSD's CSE 123, I found that I, strangely enough, find it enjoyable to write frames and packets in C and watch other mechanisms deliver the message out to the network. Coupled with my interest to poke at things, I thought it might be cool to write a lightweight tool that would allow someone to write custom packets and send them raw over a socket (or something similar). I would make it a point to write the tool in a hip language, offer a web front-end, and make it possible for users to script their own modules. -- 1.9.1
