Why would I ever need to do this when I can just use a library?

curl or something even easier?

I raw socketed your mom's ass.

More control
Plus curl can only do http (and https if i remember correct) communication, but by using sockets directly, you can have a lot of control over communication

Plus if you use raw sockets, you can literally make packets by hand. That means you can imitate being another device, eavesdrop on other communication going on in the network and a lot of other cool stuff

>>54556159
Because you can do lewd things to the network. For example spam arp requests to all hosts with the gateway as the requester, will almost certainly bring down the network unless they have implemented STORM-CONTROL

where can I learn how to into sockets in C?
