HI
Welcome to the [hping] wiki.

===What&#39;s Hping?===

hping is a free packet generator and analyzer for the [TCP/IP] protocol. Hping is one of the de-facto tools for security auditing and testing of firewalls and networks, and was used to exploit the [Idle Scan] scanning technique now implemented in the [Nmap] port scanner. The new version of hping, hping3, is scriptable using the [Tcl] language and implements an engine for string based, human readable description of TCP/IP packets, so that the programmer can write scripts related to low level TCP/IP packet manipulation and analysis in a very short time.

Like most tools used in computer security, hping is useful to security experts, but there are a lot of applications related to network testing and system administration.
For more information see the [what&#39;s hping] page.

=== About this site===

The aim of this site is to create a collaborative environment to document hping, share programming tips and hping scripts, and much more. *Many topics can be discussed here*, including topics related to security tools programming, Tcl, networking, as long as the author creates the wiki page and titles it appropriately.
The key point here is non-spam content of course, and to make sure contents are not copyrighted.
The moderator of this wiki is [Salvatore Sanfilippo] (aka `antirez`).

The Hping official site is at [link http://www.hping.org www.hping.org].

If you want to download source code or binary distributions of hping, go to the [Download] page.
