It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP and -RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to send files -between a covered channel, and many other features. -While hping was mainly used as a security tool in the past, it can be -used in many ways by people that don't care about security to test -networks and hosts. A subset of the stuff you can do using hping: - - - Test firewall rules - - [spoofed] port scanning - - Test net performance using different protocols, - packet size, TOS (type of service) and fragmentation. - - Path MTU discovery - - Files transfering even between really fascist firewall rules. - - Traceroute like under different protocols. - - Firewalk like usage. - - Remote OS fingerprint. - - TCP/IP stack auditing. - -WWW: http://www.hping.org/ - --- Nicolas Jombart <ecu@ipv42.net> |
