Nipper - Neat Internet Protocol Packet EditoR

Nipper - Neat Internet Protocol Packet EditoR - is a graphical packet generation tool. With Nipper the user can easily build different kinds of packets and send them to network.

Supported Protocols:

IPv4, including IPv4 options
IPv6, including a subset of option headers (MIPv6 draft15 + others)
TCP
UDP
ICMPv4, partial implementation
MIPv4, partial implementation
Raw payload

Requirements, Installation and Usage

Nipper is written in Java (version 1.4.0 is required). Currently the sending of packets to network is only supported in Linux (and maybe on other unixes also), because Nipper uses RAW-sockets.

See the file INSTALLATION (in the distribution) for more details.

Licensing

Nipper is distributed AS-IS under the VTT Public License.
