rawstock
========
A promiscuous raw socket framework for Python.
What's it do?
================
Re-invents the wheel (not for the better cowboy, this is the wild side of the internet).
It creates a raw socket without any automated header builds.
The framework can be used to create basic Ethernet, IP and TCP/UDP headers.
It also features the option to set the socket in promiscuous mode.
How to use it?
==============
Kinda limited atm.
import rawstock
new_sock = rawstock.rawstock(b'eth0')
print(new_sock.recv()) # No bufsize needed, yet..
new_sock.close()
Trying to keep it as similar as possible to the standard sock lib.
There's also a `promisc=True` parameter to `rawstock()`, set to false if you do not wish to use that feature. Why you wouldn't is a mystery when using a raw socket, especially since I haven't implemented a `.bind()` feature yet - heh..
TODO's
======
This is a never ending section, there's literally countless of hours left on this project.
Odds are I'm never gona' finish it, but it's a fun little side project.
Things I'd like to finish:
* More detailed parsing of the IP headers
* More detailed parameters for IP packaging
* Error handling in terms of actually parsing the protocol flags and unpacking the last slice of a network frame (assumed UDP today)
* Encryption (MAC-sec and optional payload encryption in TCP/UDP)
* A neat way to filter out sent packages which today will trigger a recv() because of promisc mode.
