    Dear List,

    ( I really do not know if this is the right place to ask this question.. so
    please pardon me, if I am wrong )

    I am looking for any available TUTORIAL, SOURCE CODE (and not binary) etc.
    in the internet that can do a SYN scanning thru a WindowsXP box using the
    Winsock 2 Socket API implementation (ie, using SOCK_RAW)

    I have searched Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, Askjeeves etc. but did not find a
    suitable one (or whatever I found failed to run under WinXP box). I have
    Winsock 1.1 programming experience in Win98 along with Raw Socket experience
    in Linux.

    I have seen Nmap coding.. but as Nmap is supposed to do a lot of things, and
    not only syn scan, the code is a bit lenthy. More over it uses WinPcap (
    Windows Packet Capture Architecture ) which I do NOT want to use. I want to
    implement only Raw Sockets.

    I have been using RedHat for the past 4 years, and I recently converted to
    WinXP professional for a particular client side requirement. That is, my
    Windows knowledge is not very good (only some common Windows programming
    experience).

    Thanking you in anticipation,

    Anirudhya Mitra.
