   mausezahn    ( 8 )

быстрый универсальный генератор пакетов с Cisco-cli (a fast versatile packet generator with Cisco-cli)

Примечание (Note)

When multiple ranges are specified, e.g. destination port ranges and destination address ranges, then all possible combinations of ports and addresses are used for packet generation. Furthermore, this can be mixed with other ranges e.g. a TCP sequence number range. Note that combining ranges can lead to a very huge number of frames to be sent. As a rule of thumb you can assume that about 100,000 frames and more are sent in a fraction of one second, depending on your network interface.

mausezahn has been designed as a fast traffic generator so you might easily overwhelm a LAN segment with myriads of packets. And because mausezahn could also support security audits it is possible to create malicious or invalid packets, SYN floods, port and address sweeps, DNS and ARP poisoning, etc.

Therefore, don't use this tool when you are not aware of the possible consequences or have only a little knowledge about networks and data communication. If you abuse mausezahn for 'unallowed' attacks and get caught, or damage something of your own, then this is completely your fault. So the safest solution is to try it out in a lab environment.

Also have a look at the netsniff-ng(8) note section on how you can properly setup and tune your system.
