Description : libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator
>From the webpage:
"Bit-Twist is a simple yet powerful libpcap-based Ethernet
packet generator. It is designed to compliment tcpdump, which by
itself has done a great job in capturing network traffic. With
Bit-Twist, you can now regenerate the captured traffic onto a
live network! Packets are generated from tcpdump trace file
(.pcap file). Bit-Twist also comes with a comprehensive trace
file editor to allow you to change the contents of a trace file.
Generally, packet generator is useful in simulating networking
traffic or scenario, testing firewall, IDS, and IPS, and
troubleshooting various network problems.
Features
...
* send multiple trace files at a time
* send packets at a specific speed or line rate in Mbps
* comprehensive trace file editor with control over most fields
in Ethernet, ARP, IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP headers with
automatic header checksum correction
* append user payload to existing packets after a specific
header
* select a specific range of packets and save them in another
trace file
* if you are teaching Computer Networks classes, you may find
Bit-Twist useful as a practical teaching material! It gives
your students a hands-on experience to learn various
networking protocols, etc."
