Hi there,<br />
I am trying to open a raw socket to capture IP packets.<br />
When I use the option, &quot;IPPROTO_TCP&quot; I am able to capture the tcp packets, and similarly IPPROTO_UDP works for udp packets. &nbsp;However, when I use IPPROTO_RAW I am not capturing any packets. &nbsp;I am using Ubuntu Linux. &nbsp;What could be wrong here?<br />
<br />
When using IPPROTO_IP, I am getting an error( 93 - Protocol not supported)<br />
<br />
&nbsp;sock_raw = socket(AF_INET , SOCK_RAW , IPPROTO_RAW);<br />
<br />
thank you.

Raw sockets to receive IP packets

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
