Have you ever wondered how to test your internet security? Or have you ever wondered how to do network measurements? If so, then you definitely need to know about a tool called hping, which is a powerful Linux command -line tool that can help you with network probing, measurement, and attack testing.
hping is a command -line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer. Its interface is inspired by the ping(8) unix command , but hping does not only send ICMP echo requests. It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP, and RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, is able to send files between an overlay channel, and many other features.
