Mausezahn is a **fast traffic generator** written in C which allows you
|
|
to send nearly every possible and impossible packet.
|
|
Mausezahn can be used for example
|
|
|
|
- As traffic generator (e. g. to stress multicast networks)
|
|
- For penetration testing of firewalls and IDS
|
|
- For DoS attacks on networks (for audit purposes of course)
|
|
- To find bugs in network software or appliances
|
|
- For reconnaissance attacks using ping sweeps and port scans
|
|
- To test network behaviour under strange circumstances (stress test,
|
|
malformed packets, ...)
|
|
- As didactical tool during lab exercises
|
|
|
|
...and more. Mausezahn is basically a versatile packet creation tool on
|
|
the command line with a simple syntax and online help. It could also be
|
|
used within (bash-) scripts to perform combination of tests.
|
|
|
|
Mausezahn requires libnet, which is also available from SlackBuilds.org. |
