hping
hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet
assembler/analyzer.
The interface is inspired from the ping 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.
hping3 can handle fragmentation, and almost arbitrary
packet size and content, using the command line interface.
