   I just need to record *all* IPs who send a connect packet   
   (ie. the 1st SYN packet) to that TCP port, including failed   
   connect attempts from spoofed IPs etc.   
   It is my app which exclusively listens and serves on that port,   
   ie. there is no other app which listens/serves on that port.   
      
   I cannot use any external utility like tcpdump etc.   
      
   I guess I would need to use raw sockets.   
   I'm already experimenting with raw sockets but   
   I don't know how to receive the SYN packets with raw sockets.   
   The examples I found on the net so far are just sending out, but not receiving.   
      
   Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
