ICMP Packet Generator Description
The Packet Generator tool's ICMP mode allows you to
create and send one or more ICMP packets to a target. You have full
control over the header flags and the other fields within the IP
header. You can add a payload either in the form of text or of a
file to the packet.There are 41 Types
of ICMP packets (see bottom of this page for the full list) that
we can generate along with several Codes (subtypes) depending on
the Type selected. For example Type 8 is an Echo Request
typically sent to a target during a Ping and Type 0 is the Echo
Reply you would receive back from the target.
Scripted packet transmission
can be used to send ICMP packets.
- This is not an ICMP traffic generator
capable of stressing a network interface.
This tool is part of the
Packet Generator Tool.
