python raw socket: Protocol not supported

Question

I am trying to open a raw socket with Python under linux.

My simple code:

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.IPPROTO_IP)
s.bin         


        

Answer 1

Try socket.AF_PACKET instead of socket.AF_INET.

Answer 2

This runs without error as root:

#!/usr/local/cpython-3.3/bin/python

import socket as socket_mod

#s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.IPPROTO_IP)
socket = socket_mod.socket(socket_mod.AF_PACKET, socket_mod.SOCK_RAW, socket_mod.IPPROTO_IP)
#socket.bind(('localhost', 5454))
socket.bind(('lo', 5454))

Answer 3

Try socket.AF_UNIX, it can solve your problem, good luck.
