- Description:
- Bit-Twist is a simple yet powerful libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator. It
is designed to complement tcpdump, which by itself has done a great job at
capturing network traffic.
These are just a few significant features that makes Bit-Twist unique and stands
out as one of the best Ethernet packet generator package made available to the
open source community.
- Runs on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows
- 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
- Highly scriptable - with proper manipulation you can turn Bit-Twist into an
extremely flexible packet generator tool!

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

For dns/openresolv give proper attribution. This was a copy/paste

for that file. I did not create it. |

- uses round() which is only available in 5.3 and higher. It
also depends upon a relatively recent version of libpcap which only
exists in the base of 6.0 and up[1]. The attached patch marks it as
broken on 5.2 and lower, and depends on net/libpcap for 5.3 up to 6.0.
