Zack, the _quickest_ way would be to generate the packet you want with mausezhan or another similar packet crafting tool e.g. hping3, nmap scapy etc. Write the single packet to disk and then convert it to a trafgen configuration and send it out. sth like this ( off top of head ). # Send a single TCP segment with SYN bit set $ hping3 -c 1 -I eth0 -p 443 -S 192.168.1.1 # Capture single packet, write to disk $ netsniff-ng --in eth0 --out tcpsyn.pcap # Convert pcap to trafgen config $ netsniff-ng --in tcpsyn.pcap --out tcpsyn.cfg # Send packet x 1000 $ trafgen --in tcpsyn.cfg --out eth0 --num 1000 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "netsniff-ng" group.
