hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer.
|
|
The interface is inspired to the ping(8) Unix command, but hping isn't
|
|
only able to send ICMP echo requests. 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.
