Hello all -
I'm looking at trying to write a python script to connect to a layer 2
bridge (no IP available).
Looking at the sockets function, it's not clear if I can connect using
only the mac address - it appears to want either a broadcast address
or a specific IP address.
Can anyone give me a clue on opening a layer 2 socket in Python?

If your operating system supports the PF_PACKET protocol family, you
can try to use that. Python only wraps the socket interface of the
operating system, so if the system's socket implementation has no
facility for that, Python cannot expose it to you, either.

I take it this means "Non-Unix variants" may have problems :)
Thanks, Martin. I'll have a look at that.
I'm working on a Linux platform, but there may be a need later on to
work with an MS platform as well (something for the boss).

I use impacket for stuff like that, see http://oss.coresecurity.com/projects/impacket.html

Context:
C#
System.Net.Sockets
Socket created with constructor prarmeters Internetwork, Stream and TCP
everything else is left at the default parameters and options except linger
may be changed as I find appropriate.
I am using the socket asynchronously by calling the BeingSend and
BeginReceive calls. I would like to be able to call shutdown and close
asynchronously if possible.

Hi,
I'm facing a code-optimisation issue on an asp.net/vb.net/SQL Server 2000
project. A web page containing not much more than 3 DropDownLists is taking
nigh on 6 seconds to load, because each ddl opens up a separate connection
to the DB, pulls out its data, and closes its own connection before the next
ddl repeats the process.
The code to handle each DDL's connection to the DB is packaged in an object

I've got a simple problem I guess. How do I know when a connection is
terminated without losing any data?
I do something like the code below, but sometimes between
socket.Receive and socket.Send I get the last chunk of data and am not
able to retrieve it anymore cause the socket will be dead.
Loop:
{
socket.Receive
<----------- data arrives

Hello,
I have a quite specific problem, and after half a day spent with
Google, still no solid answer.
The task:
I have to write a C# class Library ( DLL ) to handle TCP socket
communication. It will be called by a multithreaded server application
to send some data to an another server ( which is a linux server ).

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I'm a network technician in training and I need your help.
I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
