Add a pkg for hping (aka hping2). Sort of an amalgam of ping,
traceroute, and nmap, hping can be used to traceroute through packet

It supports TCP, UDP, +ICMP and RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to +send files between a covert 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. |
