Test network security and performance: Learn about the Linux hping command line tool

Have you ever wondered how to test your network security? Or have you ever wondered how to take 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, the ability to send files between an overlay channel, and many other features.
