Packit (Packet toolkit) is a network auditing tool. Its value is derived
from its ability to customize, inject, monitor, and manipulate IP traffic.
By allowing you to define (spoof) nearly all TCP, UDP, ICMP, IP, ARP, RARP,
and Ethernet header options, Packit can be useful in testing firewalls,
intrusion detection/prevention systems, port scanning, simulating network
traffic, and general TCP/IP auditing. Packit is also an excellent tool for
learning TCP/IP.
