• 0x57Origin (orginal) [2025-12-18T07:53:44+01:00] view original

  NimPacket now includes production-grade raw socket I/O for Windows and Linux. Send and receive packets at the IP layer with full Winsock2 support.

  New Features:

  • Create raw sockets (ICMP, TCP, UDP, IP) with automatic admin elevation on Windows
  • Send packets with proper error handling and cross-platform compatibility
  • Receive packets with timeout support and custom filtering
  • Socket options: promiscuous mode, broadcast, IP header inclusion

  Check out the demo at examples/rawsocket_demo.nim or run the full test suite at tests/test_rawsocket.nim.
