I'll bet you have!  Start messing with packets that far down the TCP
stack and you'll end up like Don Becker!  You have been warned...;-)

I myself stop way uphill around the "tcp socket" level, where all the
kernel automagic is safely hidden.  I've never messed with code that
deep.  However, e.g. tcpdump does, nmap (IIRC) does, and somewhere there
should be some raw low-level ethernet calls you can use to snoop packets
as well.  tcpdump in particular probably does "exactly" what you need
except for the matching part, which is trivial.
