Packet Sender
Packet Sender is an open source utility to allow sending and receiving TCP and UDP packets. It also supports TCP connections using SSL. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is licensed GNU General Public License v2 and is free software. IP packet sender/receiver usage instructions: Compile the source file: gcc -o iparp iparp.c. Run Mininet and build a network: sudo mn -c python router.py. Send a packet using mininet: h1x1./iparp Send h1x1./iparp Send h1x1-eth0 10.0.0.1 192.168.1.100 'This is a test' Receive a packet (immediately after sending the packet from another host). Packet Sender This multi-purpose app allows you to send and receive simulated UDP, TCP, and SSL packets, configure and select ports, and run client and server software simultaneously. It also offers a great deal of flexibility and customization for methodology and input through command line or GUI. Packet Sender is an open source utility to allow sending and receiving TCP, UDP, and SSL (encrypted TCP) packets. The mainline branch officially supports Windows, Mac, and Desktop Linux (with Qt). Other places may recompile and redistribute Packet Sender. Packet Sender is free and licensed GPL v2 or later.

Packet Sender is an open source utility to allow sending and receiving TCP and UDP packets. It also supports TCP connections using SSL. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is licensed GNU General Public License v2 and is free software.[1] Packet Sender's web site says 'It's designed to be very easy to use while still providing enough features for power users to do what they need.'.[2]
Uses[edit]
Typical applications of Packet Sender include:
- Troubleshooting network devices that use network servers (send a packet and then analyze the response)
- Troubleshooting network devices that use network clients (devices that 'phone home' via UDP, TCP, or SSL—Packet Sender can capture these requests)
- Testing and development of new network protocols (send a packet, see if device behaves appropriately)
- Reverse-engineering network protocols for security analysis (such as malware)
- Troubleshooting secure connections (using the SSL server and client).
- Automation (via Packet Sender's command line interface or resend feature)
- Stress-testing a device (using intense network generator tool)
- Sharing/Saving/Collaboration using the Packet Sender Cloud service
Packet Sender comes with a built-in TCP, UDP, and SSL server on multiple ports a user specifies. This remains running listening for packets while sending other packets.
Features[edit]
