What are raw sockets?

Answer / william
A raw socket is a socket that allows access to packet
headers on incoming and outgoing packets. Raw sockets
always receive the packets with the packet header included
as opposed to non-raw sockets which strip the header and
only receive the packet payload.

information So on the destination machine any socket
listening can receive the IP or RAW packets.This has been
