hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer. 
The interface is inspired to the ping(8) 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. 
While hping was mainly used as a security tool in the past, it can be 
used in many ways by people that don't care about security to test 
networks and hosts.

hping3 adds the TCL scripting feature.
