I have to do this project, and I honestly have NO idea where to start.
It will send a simple GET request to a web server, and then wait for a reply, and it will print out the IP that replied. The HTTP request is not the hard part, it is getting the IP that replies.
I was thinking about using a combination of netstat and grep, which are two things that I am not very fond of, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I could have a dedicated box for this if needed, something with like no other traffic coming in on port 80, or something like that.
