NAME

sendip - Send arbitrary IP packets  

SYNOPSIS

sendip [-v] [-d data] [-h] [-f datafile] [-p module] [module options] hostname  

OPTIONS

-d data
add this data as a string to the end of the packet
-f datafile
read packet data from file
-h
help (this message)
-p module
load the specified module (see below)
-v
be verbose

Packet data, and argument values for many header fields, may specified as rN to generate N random(ish) data bytes; zN to generate N nul (zero) data bytes; 0x or 0X followed by hex digits; 0 followed by octal digits; decimal number for decimal digits; any other stream of bytes, taken literally.

Modules are loaded in the order the -p option appears. The headers from each module are put immediately inside the headers from the previous module in the final packet. For example, to embed bgp inside tcp inside ipv4, do sendip -p ipv4 -p tcp -p bgp ....

Modules may be repeated to create multiple instances of a given header type. For example, to create an ipip tunneled packet (ipv4 inside ipv4), do sendip -p ipv4 <outer header arguments> -p ipv4 <inner header arguments> .... In the case of repeated modules, arguments are applied to the closest matching module in the command line.  

Modules available at compile time:

ipv4 ipv6 icmp tcp udp bgp rip ripng ntp ah dest esp frag gre hop route sctp wesp.
