Hi fellas,

after reading someones's worries about SYN-DOS' with spoofed IP-addresses using WindowsXP as a consumer OS having raw network sockets, i wonder what's the need for it on BSD systems?

. ..with time going by i perceive linux to become more and more of a more consumer OS, i could imagine to make Berkeley-sockets an opt-in there.

How about BSD? For what do you use raw network sockets these days?
