Hello all, I need to send SYN packets and check whether SYN ACK packets  
are received. I was looking at rubyforger, which seems to allow me to  
do this quite easily. However, rubyforger is dependent on ruby pcap and  
ruby pcap doesnt seem to install on windows. Has anybody successfully  
done so or has a suggestion how I could create the needed code without  
rubyforger and pcap?  
Thanks-  
Christian
