So i want to ask you: is there some syscall or methods to build a raw socket,?

Cocoa is a high-level frameworks and doesn't have direct support for
this low-level stuff (direct device access, raw sockets, etc).
However, Mac OS X supports a standard BSD sockets API (Mac OS X
network is, after all, based on BSD), so code written to sockets
should work just fine, including inside a Cocoa application. Two
points to note:
1. Different platforms have subtle differences in how they implement
the 'sockets' API, especially when it comes to low-level stuff like
raw sockets and ARP. You may encounter some of these differences
when porting your code to a BSD-based platform, like Mac OS X. If
so, try searching the net for hints. For example:

2. Cocoa does have support for integrating a socket, any type of
socket, into the Cocoa runloop using CFSocket. Also, there are a
variety of non-Apple Cocoa networking frameworks available. See the
URL below for a good summary.
