i'd like to package a couple of nice tools i'd like to have on my linux box, just to make it a little more tricky. tools i'd like to package are hping2 and icmpush. name: hping2 desc: hping2 is a network tool able to send custom icmp/udp/tcp packets and to display target replies like ping does with icmp replies. it handles fragmentation and arbitrary packet body and size, and can be used to transfer files under supported protocols. using hping2, you can: test firewall rules, perform [spoofed] port scanning, test net performance using different protocols, packet size, tos (type of service), and fragmentation, do path mtu discovery, tranfer files (even between really fascist firewall rules), perform traceroute-like actions under different protocols, fingerprint remote OSs, audit a tcp/ip stack, etc. hping2 is a good tool for learning tcp/ip. name: icmpush desc: icmpush is a tool that send icmp packets fully customized from command line. The icmp error types include: unreach, parameter problem, redirect and source quench are allowed, and the icmp information types: timestamp, address mask request, information request, router solicitation (router discovery), router advertisement (router discovery) and echo request are also allowed and can wait a timeout to print the replies received. cheers -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ get my public pgp key at http://www.freeweb.org/free/cavok/ -[ unix is user friendly. it's just selective about who its friends are...
