IMPORTANT: This package is being reintroduced in Debian. * Package name : bittwist Version : 2.0 Upstream Author : Addy Yeow Chin Heng <ayeo...@gmail.com> * URL : http://bittwist.sourceforge.net * License : GPL2 Programming Lang: C Description : libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator Bit-Twist is designed to complement tcpdump, which by itself has done a great job in capturing network traffic. Bit-Twist can regenerate the captured traffic onto a live network (the packets are generated from tcpdump trace file, generating a .pcap file). . Bit-Twist also comes with a comprehensive trace file editor to allow to change the contents of a trace file. . Generally, a packet generator is useful in simulating networking traffic or scenario, testing firewall, IDS, and IPS, and troubleshooting various network problems. . The Bit-Twist features are: . * send multiple trace files at a time; * send packets at a specific speed or line rate in Mbps; * comprehensive trace file editor with control over most fields in Ethernet, ARP, IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP headers with automatic header checksum correction; * append user payload to existing packets after a specific header; * select a specific range of packets and save them in another trace file; * if you are teaching Computer Networks classes, you may find Bit-Twist useful as a practical teaching material. It gives your students a hands-on experience to learn various networking protocols etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
