    4: DESCRIPTION
    5: 
    6: 	hping2 is a network tool able to send custom ICMP/UDP/TCP
    7: 	packets and to display target replies like ping do with
    8: 	ICMP replies. hping2 handle fragmentation, arbitrary packet
    9: 	body and size and can be used in order to transfer files
   10: 	under supported protocols. Using hping2 you are able at
   11: 	least to perform the following jobs:
   12: 
   13: 	- Test firewall rules
   14: 	- [spoofed] port scanning
   15: 	- Test net performance using differents protocols,
   16: 	  packet size, TOS (type of service) and fragmentation.
   17: 	- Path MTU discovery
   18: 	- Files trasfering even between really fascist firewall rules.
   19: 	- Traceroute like under different protocols.
   20: 	- Firewalk like usage.
   21: 	- Remote OS fingerprint.
   22: 	- TCP/IP stack auditing.
   23: 	- A lot of others.
   24: 
   25: 	It's also really a good didactic tool to learn TCP/IP.
   26: 
   27: 	hping2 is developed and manteined by antirez@invece.org
   28: 	and comes under GPL version 2 of license. Developing is

   30: 	inhibitions.
