hping3 was mainly
used as a security tool in
the past. It can be used in
many ways by people who
don't care for security to
test networks and hosts. A
subset of the things you
can do using hping3:
■ Firewall testing
‫ י‬Advanced port scanning
‫ י‬Network testing, using
various protocols, TOS,
fragmentation
■ Manual path M TU
discovery
■ Advanced traceroute,
under all the supported
protocols
■ Remote OS
fingerprinting
