Hi ---
I want to get first-hand experience with low-level UNIX Internet by hacking
from the ethernet driver up to the socket level. The only good book I have
found is Comer and Stevens "Internetworking with TCP/IP Volume II". I am
looking for additional references, especially those which relate directly to
LINUX and FreeBSD. Yes -- I know they come with source code -- I was
hoping for a "program logic" manual for the network subsystem of either of
these OS/s, as well as other good "nuts and bolts" implementation type books
(I'm reasonably comfortable with the theory -- I want implementation details).
I also want to find code (or a book) that implements a network sniffer for
ethernet, ARP, ICMP, UDP, and TCP packets. LINUX, FreeBSD, DOS, OS/2,
or Windows code is fine. Or recommendations on cheap commercial stuff welcome.
Any pointers would be appreciated. I will post a summary.
To make sure I don't miss the reply, an e-mail copy would be appreciated,
but isn't mandatory.
