Creare, Inc. is pleased to announce that we're releasing our internally developed JavaSock API for reading and writing packets at the IP, TCP, and ethernet frame levels (including some support for reading
802.11 radio packets on certain hardware, such as AirPcap devices under Windows). JavaSock is released as Open Source software under the Apache Version 2.0 license.
JavaSock provides a combination Java API and native code library allowing Java programs to manipulate raw network packets through a consistent and secure interface. The API supports applications including packet filtering and packet sniffing.
This release of Javasock includes the API, native code libraries for Win32 and Linux, and several demonstration applications implemented using the library.
The Win32 support is release quality. The Linux support is still beta.
Demonstration applications include:
- A command line ping client implemented using JavaSock 2. A command line NetCat client that implements a netcat-like utility written using JavaSock 3. JSScan, a GUI-based port scanning utility 4. JSSniff, a GUI-Based traffic-sniffing utility
