Unable to send ICMP packets from a raw socket in Python -

i have raw python socket initialized so:

mysocket = socket.socket(socket.af_inet, socket.sock_raw, socket.ipproto_raw) mysocket.setsockopt(socket.ipproto_ip, socket.ip_hdrincl, 1) 

my problem can't send packet socket protocol field in ip header specified '1' (icmp). if field else it'll work fine, including '17' (udp) example. don't errors, packet doesn't display in wireshark, , can't receive on server.

i'm generating ip header so:

def getipheader(src, dst, proto):     version = 4     ihl = 5     dscp = 0     ecn = 0     totallength = 40     identification = 333     flags = 0     fragmentoffset = 0     timetolive = 128     protocol = proto     headerchecksum = 0     sourceip = socket.inet_aton(src)     destip = socket.inet_aton(dst)     options = 0      version_ihl = (version << 4) | ihl     dscp_ecn = (dscp << 2) | ecn     flags_fragmentoffset = (flags << 13) | fragmentoffset      # '!' ensures arguments converted network byte order     header = struct.pack("!bbhhhbbh4s4s", version_ihl, dscp_ecn, totallength, identification, flags_fragmentoffset, timetolive, protocol, headerchecksum, sourceip, destip)     return header 

and sending so:

icmpheader = struct.pack("!bbhhh", 8, 0, 0, 666, 0) packet = getipheader("192.168.2.15", "8.8.8.8", 1) + icmpheader mysocket.sendto(packet, ("8.8.8.8", 0)) 

sending udp protocol set works (obviously malformed):

icmpheader = struct.pack("!bbhhh", 8, 0, 0, 666, 0) packet = getipheader("192.168.2.15", "8.8.8.8", 17) + icmpheader mysocket.sendto(packet, ("8.8.8.8", 0)) 

the worst part if send ping command line, copy exact hex wireshark of ip , icmp data code, still doesn't work, so:

packet = b'\x45\x00\x00\x3c\x24\xad\x00\x00\x80\x01\x43\x4d\xc0\xa8\x02\x0f\x08\x08\x08\x08\x08\x00\x4d\x44\x00\x01\x00\x17\x61\x62\x63\x64\x65\x66\x67\x68\x69\x6a\x6b\x6c\x6d\x6e\x6f\x70\x71\x72\x73\x74\x75\x76\x77\x61\x62\x63\x64\x65\x66\x67\x68\x69' mysocket.sendto(packet, ("8.8.8.8", 0)) 

however, before, if change 10th byte of hard coded data '\x11' (17 decimal, udp), can see in wireshark (obviously malformed udp section rest of packet icmp).

i'm running windows 10, python 3.4.1, , firewall off. ideas?

update: i've tried on 2 different computers, windows 8 , windows 10 machine, both worked, it's computer, plot thickens...
