MAC flooder in C++. any ideas?

i want to make a MAC flooder to help me sniff switched networks but i have no idea how to write a program to send MAC addresses to a computer or switch. i have some skill in C++ and google has turned up nothing usefull. can anyone help? thanks neco

read this http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/network/networkinformation/article.php/c5451#more and learn how to do that…then you can start porting that into external filtering.

thanks that helped a bit but i dont need to send my MAC just any MAC so that i can fill the switches arp table up and force it to revert to acting like a router. what i realy need to know is what code do i use to send a MAC to the switch. i gues the code would be simalar to that used to spoof a MAC address. neco
