I'm sure there is a list more appropriate to these questions.. if you know of one please point me to it. one more question:
linsniff.c sets promisc mode on an interface with ioctl() a la:
ioctl(s,SIOCSIFFLAGS,&ifr);
s is a descriptor pointing to the previously opened SOCK_PACKET socket.. it seems to me that the s descriptor is purely arbitrary.. is it necessary to use a socket opened in this way as a descriptor for a SIOCSIFFLAGS or SIOCGIFFLAGS ioctl call? What type of descriptor needs to be used here?
