hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer.
|
||
|
|
The interface is inspired by 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 covert 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.
