Mausezahn is a **fast traffic generator** written in C which allows you to send nearly every possible and impossible packet. Mausezahn can be used: - As traffic generator (e. g. to stress multicast networks) - For penetration testing of firewalls and IDS - For DoS attacks on networks (for audit purposes of course) - To find bugs in network software or appliances - For reconnaissance attacks using ping sweeps and port scans - To test network behaviour under strange circumstances (stress test, malformed packets, ...) - As didactical tool during lab exercises Mausezahn is basically a versatile packet creation tool on the command line with a simple syntax and online help. It could also be used within (bash-) scripts to perform combination of tests. Mausezahn requires libnet and libcli.
