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.
