This is the release of the second network tool, deja-packet, that I promised in my previous post. Here is the project description I submitted to Freshmeat:
“deja-packet transmits raw packets through a specified interface. In pcap file mode, deja-packet transmits user-selected packets from a libpcap capture file (such as one created by Ethereal/Wireshark, or tcpdump). In raw file mode, deja-packet transmits the raw contents of a file as one whole packet, and will exit immediately after the attempted transmission is complete (allowing deja-packet to be easily used in a script).”
‘deja’ like ‘deja-vu’, like, you’ve seen it before? Like you’ve seen the packet before? Get it? Yeah I know it’s hilarious.
