Hello,

I would recommend to code this fuzzer only if you want to do
it as a practice. But if you are more interested in
fuzzing a protocol, you'd better to have a look at scapy,
because it has already support for a lot of network
protocols and you can also fuzz them with it. And by the way
it is written in python ;-)

A RIP fuzzer in 1 line:

send(IP()/UDP()/fuzz(RIP()),loop=1)

best regards,
