Maybe it should also have some other serious limitation...\r\n- Fallback: would get packets that would have been sent to a selection of network addresses which are not on the network.\r\n\r\nThe first two uses would be an interesting gameplay challenge, along with a reason for people to design secure network protocols! **:D**\r\n\r\nThe last use would be useful for making a \"custom switch\" that could be coded manually using computers, so allowing advanced networking! **:D**\r\nThis would require the packet sniffing card would also have the ability to spoof addresses, but it would be an interesting challenge if the packet sniffing card and spoofing card were separate (though that might mean that the spoofing card would have to somehow be moved from Computronics to OC, sorry @Vexatos!)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/MightyPirates/OpenComputers/issues/comments/168816171","html_url":"https://github.com/MightyPirates/OpenComputers/issues/1597#issuecomment-168816171","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/MightyPirates/OpenComputers/issues/1597","id":168816171,"user":{"login":"skyem123","id":2051085,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2051085?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123","html_url":"https://github.com/skyem123","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/skyem123/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-04T21:32:17Z","updated_at":"2016-01-04T21:32:17Z","body":"Spoofing is useless for me unless you can get the response to the spoofed packet. :P"}}
