Fake ping reply

In this section, you will learn how to send fake ping reply packets. In the fake ping reply code, I have not used any libraries. 

Let's understand the code. The code name is icmp_reply.py. In order to run the code, you need to install the ping module from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ping/0.2:

• The following modules have been used in the code:

      import socket      import struct      import binascii      import ping      import Queue      import threading      import sys      import random      import my_logger

      Q = Queue.Queue()      IP_address = 0      my_socket = socket.socket(socket.PF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW,  socket.ntohs(0x0800)) ...
