Network Protocol Stack and TCP hacking

Published on 2004-02-28, by Shyamjithe C S, ©Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc..

The network protocol stack, which forms the carrier and pipeline of data from one host to another is designed in such a way that we can interact with different layers at desired level. This article is a small attempt to describe the movement of data through these stacked layers and at the end we will try to implement a linux kernel module which helps us to capture the data flowing out to TCP layer and display it. I think to talk about all those really basic network communication is not necessary here. So I will straight away talk about the implementation of TCP/IP communication.
