Original: Building a Low-Level ICMP Sniffer in x64 Assembly (Raw Sockets)

Short summary

Tutorial on building an ICMP packet sniffer in x64 assembly without external libraries, using raw Linux syscalls and manual memory management. Covers header parsing, raw socket setup, and a custom integer-to-ASCII engine for IP address conversion. Designed for security researchers and systems programmers studying kernel-level networking.

  • Uses raw sockets and Linux syscalls to capture ICMP packets without abstraction layers
  • Implements custom integer-to-ASCII conversion engine for IP addresses using only assembly
  • Educational deep-dive into low-level system programming and network packet analysis
