[VB2005][Help] Blocking Incoming Packets

[Junkers]

Ey,

Im looking into making a packet blocker on VB2005 (merely because Im using it in school) and I wanna know how to block packets added by the user who lists them in a ListBox or any other way to block incoming packets. If ya can help me out I'd be very greatful.

Cheers,
Laz-low

That's a toughy. Not really sure how that would be done in VB...

I'm just spitballing here, but I imagine that through drivers you might be able to have packets directed through your app...but since I've never done it before, nor done much work related to drivers, I could be 110% off track!

Either way, such a feat is much easier to do using a Linux environment with C.

Edit: Oh, forgot to mention, if it's a packet from a specific program, then you can create a local proxy via VB so that all the packets are routed through you if you're able to modify the IP or have it redirect to yourself through other means. This can be uber annoying though...

Try Google.

I think it's a module ;]

That's a bit open-ended. A module can have anything in it lol. It could be a class even.
