Bug#491312: RFA: netsed -- The network packet altering stream editor
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the netsed package.
The package description is:
NetSED is small and handful utility designed to alter the contents of
packets forwarded thru your network in real time. It is really useful
for network hackers in following applications:
.
* black-box protocol auditing - whenever there are two or more
proprietary boxes communicating over undocumented protocol (by
enforcing changes in ongoing transmissions, you will be able to
test if tested application is secure),
.
* fuzz-alike experiments, integrity tests - whenever you want to test
stability of the application and see how it ensures data integrity,
.
* other common applications - fooling other people, content filtering,
etc etc - choose whatever you want to.
.
It perfectly fits ngrep, netcat and tcpdump tools suite.
