README

This README would normally document whatever steps are necessary to get your application up and running.

What is this repository for?

• The Erate socket library
• Install Scapy before using the library : http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/
• You need a linux machine for changing the socket's functionality (i.e., different change parameters)
• Make sure setting a rule in iptables that drops outgoing TCP RST packets. Otherwise since the kernel would now know that the erateSocket is running, it would respond packets destined for your program with TCP RSTs:

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP

How do I get set up?

• Import the library and use it as a normal socket library for example:

sock = erateSocket.erateSocket(protocol = 'tcp',change = '', index = 2, timeout = 0.5)

• Then bind and connect

sock.bind((srcIP, srcport))

sock.connect((dstIP. dstport))

• Then start communicating

sock.sendall(data)

data = sock.recv(BUFSIZE)

• Close the socket

sock.close()

• The example client and server are used to get familiar and please provide the IP addresses for both client and server before running. Different changed can be made by calling erateSocket with different change value, more info can be found in erateSocket.py.
