>From the webpage: "Bit-Twist is a simple yet powerful libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator. It is designed to compliment tcpdump, which by itself has done a great job in capturing network traffic. With Bit-Twist, you can now regenerate the captured traffic onto a live network! Packets are generated from tcpdump trace file (.pcap file). Bit-Twist also comes with a comprehensive trace file editor to allow you to change the contents of a trace file. Generally, packet generator is useful in simulating networking traffic or scenario, testing firewall, IDS, and IPS, and troubleshooting various network problems. Features ... * send multiple trace files at a time * send packets at a specific speed or line rate in Mbps * comprehensive trace file editor with control over most fields in Ethernet, ARP, IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP headers with automatic header checksum correction * append user payload to existing packets after a specific header * select a specific range of packets and save them in another trace file * if you are teaching Computer Networks classes, you may find Bit-Twist useful as a practical teaching material!
