[18:00] <BenChapman> indeed, also trying to figure out how to create a DNS packet in Python
[18:29] <ebel> BenChapman: scapy?
[18:30] <BenChapman> Oh, I know the structure
[18:30] <BenChapman> I'm just familiarising myself with struct and pack
[18:30] <BenChapman> it would also be helpful if i knew what a 16-bit int looked like :P
[18:32] <BenChapman> 2 octets, ffff = 65535?
[18:32] <slashtommy> remember that you're little endian
[18:32] <BenChapman> yup
[18:33] <BenChapman> header_s = struct.Struct('<i ?')
[18:33] <BenChapman> oh wait, that's signed
[18:33] <BenChapman> dammit
[18:35] <BenChapman> anyway, wrong channel for that. Sorry :P
