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:
|
|
* Firewall testing
|
|
* Advanced port scanning
|
|
* Network testing, using different protocols, TOS, fragmentation
|
|
* Manual path MTU discovery
|
|
* Advanced traceroute, under all the supported protocols
|
|
* Remote OS fingerprinting
|
|
* Remote uptime guessing
|
|
* TCP/IP stacks auditing
|
|
* hping can also be useful to students that are learning TCP/IP.
