The Gist

  • Fakethat is intended to run on Windows XP.
  • Allows you to hijack all socket connections received by the system
  • Has an embedded Python 2.7.3 interpreter (custom modules!!)
  • Feasible for a single-system dummy test network.

Caveats

  • Custom socket I/O; _socket.so module was intentionally excluded
  • In order to do socket calls you must import FakeNet.
  • Greatly simplified interface, handles buildup/teardown of session
  • You worry about send/recv only
