Hping3

Description

Hping3 is an advanced packet crafting tool used for SYN scanning, UDP scanning, XMAS scanning, NULL scanning, and host discovery during network penetration testing.

Usage 1: SYN Scan on Specific Port

Send SYN packets to a specific port.

Command:

hping3 -S -p 80 -c 3 192.168.9.2

Usage 2: SYN Scan All Ports

Scan all ports on a target.

Command:

hping3 -S --scan all 192.179.0.1

Usage 3: UDP Scan

There are some services which run on UDP, in that case, this scan will help.

Command:

hping3 -2 --scan 1-100 192.179.0.1

Usage 4: XMAS Scan

Sets FIN, PUSH, and URG flags.

Command:

hping3 -F -P -U --scan 1-100 192.179.0.1 -c 3

Usage 5: NULL Scan

In case of NULL and XMAS scan, ports which do not respond are open.

Command:

hping3 --scan 1-100 192.179.0.1

Usage 6: Host Discovery (ICMP Ping)

Use ICMP to discover live hosts.

Command:

sudo hping3 -1 192.168.1.1 -c 3

Command (Random destination for subnet discovery):

sudo hping3 -1 192.168.0.x --rand-dest -I eth2
