Raw Socket Packet Sniffer

ACTIVE

Python script utilizing raw sockets to capture and parse TCP/IP headers manually. Implements basic SYN-scan detection without relying on libpcap.

OBJETIVO

Manually parse IP/TCP headers to understand protocol structures and detect scanning patterns without relying on Wireshark.

RESTRICCIONES

Requires root/admin privileges. Linux only (AF_PACKET). For macOS use BPF socket instead.
