[Mono-list] Portscanner School Project...Probably using System.Net class

[Simon Waite]

A Friend of mine has written a prototype packet sniffer in C#
and I've recently seen code that accesses raw sockets for icmp
ping(I assume - I didnt take much notice - I was looking for
somthing else) I didnt bookmark the url, but it's index by google.

If you want to pick someones brains about it try contacting my
friend about it, his web page is here:

http://www.andersoninnovations.biz (sorry for a commercial link)

Of course feel free to tell him I sent you :-)

Regards,

Simon Waite
