well on my older desktop i recently added a dual boot with kubuntu, so now it has kubuntu 7.10 and windows xp (im thinking sp2). well im hoping its not sp2, because of the dreaded raw-sockets kill. so i wrote a simple syn flooder with kate and compiled with gcc, when, to my suprise, didn't work. the following socket() call failed and produced the perror("socket()") call.

(Toggle Plain Text)

s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW);

im afraid that this is because windows has already messed with the networking drivers and disabled raw sockets.
if anyone here has some insight, please help

edit:
i believe nmap does work (port scanning atleast). im severely confused.
