in my script kid days, ( 30 years ago ) I did something similar for linux , using raw sockets and I think with ETH_P_ALL. embedding into a an already existing regular linux process ( recompiling the source code ) the problem was high cpu usage of the process when network usage was intensive. of course it did't survive when the OS updated the program.

The numbers seems to be too much near 65535 to be a coincidence.

are you making the request from a single IP address source? are you aware of the limit of using the same source IP address for the same destination IP address ( and port )? ( each connection can have only a unique source address and source port to the destination, maxing out in source 65535 ports ) for the same destination

no need to mess with the kernel, block on the local machine firewall outgoing RST packet ,create a program that reads raw socket for incoming SYN and answer the syn/ack). but anyway, this technique will not differentiate legitimate connections.

fork is extremely heavy, threads are way lighter, but still opening thousands of threads can become a problem. opening a thread just to wait for a socket operation don't make sense. and the low level requirements to use ( select/iopool syscalls ) is hard. coroutines of async/await solve this problem.

I do not agreed. Its was not even worth without llm. Junior will always take a LOT of time from seniors. and when the junior become good enough, he will find another job. and the senior will be stuck in this loop.

junior + llm, it even worse. they become prompt engineers
