hping3

In the realm of network administration and security, tools that allow for detailed inspection, analysis, and simulation of network traffic are crucial. One such powerful tool is hping3, a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer. Whether you're performing network security auditing, penetration testing, or simply troubleshooting network protocols, hping3 can be incredibly beneficial due to its versatility in packet generation and response analysis. hping3 is a network tool able to send custom TCP/IP packets and to display target replies like ping does with ICMP replies. hping3 can handle fragmentation, arbitrary packet body and size, and can be used to transfer files encapsulated under supported protocols.
