Thank you very much for replying.
So sending data over sockets is a very low level approach. Structures are used to organize the data (bits or hex values).
Now, what if I'm unable to "organize" or "cast" such incomming traffic (in the case of packet sniffing with raw sockets) to a structure, but instead having to manually interpret the hex values in C? How can I "cast" these values in such case? (ie. I get: 77 6c 30 00 00 1c 10 c4 2d 70 08 00 45..." in hex, how do I convert it to actual data?)
thank you
