The Goal

I'm able to analize every field of the ARP frame that i capture, but not to avoid the malicious frame to take effect over the cache because i can't stop the kernel.

So, how can i do that? how could i check the frame and if it's a valid one THEN apply it to the cache, just before the kernel does it?


I have no room to speak here, and will most likely get bashed to death. Smilie

However, what the goal here seems to be is: Intercept packets before they get to the cache, qualify them as malicous or non-malicious.

So wouldn't a good firewall do this??

usb_get_current_frame_number(9F)			   Kernel Functions for Drivers 			  usb_get_current_frame_number(9F)

NAME
usb_get_current_frame_number - Return current logical usb frame number SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/usb/usba.h> usb_frame_number_t usb_get_current_frame_number(dev_info_t *dip); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI) PARAMETERS
dip Pointer to the device's dev_info structure. DESCRIPTION
The usb_get_current_frame_number() function retrieves the current logical USB frame number. Isochronous requests can be started on a particular numbered frame. An offset number of frames (typically between 4 and 10) can be added to the current logical frame number to specify the number of an upcoming frame to start an isochronous request. The USB specification requires that the frame frequency (the period between start-of-frame packets) is one millisecond. The Solaris oper- ating environment USB implementation uses a running counter of the number of milliseconds since boot as the current logical frame number. RETURN VALUES
On success, the usb_get_current_frame_number() function returns the current USB frame number. On failure it returns 0. The function fails if dip is NULL. CONTEXT
May be called from user, kernel or interrupt context. EXAMPLES
usb_pipe_handle_t handle; usb_frame_number_t offset = 10; usb_isoc_req_t *isoc_req; isoc_req = usb_alloc_isoc_req(...); ... ... isoc_req->isoc_frame_no = usb_get_current_frame_number(dip) + offset; isoc_req->isoc_attributes = USB_ATTRS_ISOC_START_FRAME; ... ... if (usb_pipe_isoc_xfer(handle, isoc_req, 0) != USB_SUCCESS) { ... } ATTRIBUTES
