desc: "hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer. \nThe interface
  is inspired to the ping(8) unix command, but hping isn't \nonly able to send ICMP
  echo requests. It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP and \nRAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute
  mode, the ability to send files \nbetween a covered channel, and many other features.
  \nWhile hping was mainly used as a security tool in the past, it can be \nused in
  many ways by people that don't care about security to test \nnetworks and hosts.
  A subset of the stuff you can do using hping:\n \n\t- Test firewall rules\n\t- [spoofed]
  port scanning\n\t- Test net performance using different protocols,\n\t  packet size,
  TOS (type of service) and fragmentation.\n\t- Path MTU discovery\n\t- Files transfering
  even between really fascist firewall rules.\n\t- Traceroute like under different
  protocols.\n\t- Firewalk like usage.\n\t- Remote OS fingerprint.\n\t- TCP/IP stack
  auditing.\n\nWWW: http://www.hping.org/\n"
