hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer.
The interface is inspired to the ping(8) Unix command, but hping isn't
only able to send ICMP echo requests. It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP and
RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to send files
between a covered channel, and many other features.
While hping was mainly used as a security tool in the past, it can be
used in many ways by people that don't care about security to test
networks and hosts. A subset of the stuff you can do using hping:
- Test firewall rules
- [spoofed] port scanning
- Test net performance using different protocols,
packet size, TOS (type of service) and fragmentation.
- Path MTU discovery
- Files transfering even between really fascist firewall rules.
- Traceroute like under different protocols.
- Firewalk like usage.
- Remote OS fingerprint.
- TCP/IP stack auditing.
===> The following configuration options are available for hping3-20051105_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
MAN=on: Install manual page
TCL=off: Tcl scripting language support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
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.

New port: net/hping3
hping3 is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer.
This port is significantly modified version of already existing
older port net/hping but hping3 has more useful features like
IP options LSRR/SSRR etc.
net/hping3 does not conflict with net/hping due to different names
of installed files and both utilities may be installed same time.
