	<longdescription lang="en">
	Libcrafter is a high level library for C++ designed to facilitate the creation
	and decoding of network packets. It is able to craft or decode packets of most
	common networks protocols, send them on the wire, capture them and match
	requests and replies.
	It enables the creation of networking tools in a few lines with a interface
	very similar to <pkg>net-analyzer/scapy</pkg>.
	A packet is described as layers that you stack one upon the other. Fields of
	each layer have useful default values that you can overload.

	The library is designed to be used in multithreaded programs where you can
	combine several tasks simultaneously. For example, you can easily design
	something that sniffs, mangles, and sends at the same time you are doing an
	ARP-Spoofing attack.
	It also contains a very naive implementation of the TCP/IP stack (fragmentation
	is no handled yet) at user level that enables working with TCP streams. This
	facilitates the creation of tools for data injection on arbitrary connections,
	IP spoofing and TCP/IP session hijacking.

	Supported protocols are:

	Ethernet, SLL (Linux cooked-mode capture), ARP, DHCP, DHCP options, IP, IP
	options, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, ICMP extensions, ICMPv6 extensions, TCP, TCP
	options, UDP and DNS
