Libnids uses libpcap and libnet libraries:
    
   LBNL Network Research Group <[e-mail]>
   ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z
   new versions available at http://www.tcpdump.org/release/

Libnids emulates algorithms present in Linux 2.0.36 kernel. The files
ip_fragment.c and ip_options.c are the modified respective files from Linux 
2.0.36 kernel source. The asm code used for checksums computing is taken
from Linux 2.2.10 kernel source.
