From C to advanced C

[therenegade]

Right,I've been at regular C programming a fair bit,by regular C programming I mean the usual,I'm fairly comfortable with arrays,pointers and the like.I'd like to move on to socket programming and using C for coding other network tools(port scanners etc..nothing malicious ofcourse).I was wondering where and how to start,I searched on google,but I couldnt really seem to find a starting place..any suggestions?

Hi therenegade,

For the OS, I'd recommend installing a copy of FreeBSD (say 4.10 or 5.1), and reading the following books.

The Art of UNIX Programming

The Practice of Programming

Unix Network Programming, Vol. 1: The Sockets Networking API, Third Edition

UNIX Network Programming, Volume 2: Interprocess Communications (2nd Edition)

Also, if you install the freebsd html documentation, there are some good guides/faq's/suggestions.

Hope that helped.

I was able to dig up some links:

Beej's Guide to Network Programming
BSD Sockets: A Quick and Dirty Primer
Unix Socket FAQ
BSD Sockets Inro
eBCVG - Socket Programming in C
Network Programming Under Unix Systems

Have fun. Hope this helped.
