This is very awesome, but you might want to make a fee changes.

First, waiting for the user to press a key will limit the performance of this. Remove _getch().

Next, to limit cpu usage when you do this, add “Sleep(1)” to the while loop.

Finally, you might want to add an option to set a custom ip and payload size at runtime.

This 32 bit code will only work on Windows XP pre-service pack 2. After SP 1, Microsoft disabled the ability to send in raw sockets. In addition, the kernel buffer space is only 8k, way too small. This is discussed here:

The correct way to do this on Windows is to use a packet driver, WinPcap.

It’s nice & helpful Article, Thankx M00n Silv3r ;).But,

For Windows , I think The use of RAW_SOCK is restricted. No ?
