hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer. The
|
|
interface is inspired by the ping(8) unix command, but hping isn't just
|
|
for sending ICMP echo requests. It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP and RAW-IP
|
|
protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to send files in a covert
|
|
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
