http://www.counterpane.com/application-security-assessment.html

hping, the packet crafter

tcpdump, the packet analyzer

-n	Don’t resolve hostnames
-nn	Don’t resolve hostnames @ port names
-X	Show the packet’s content in both hex & ASCII
-v, -vv, -vvv	Increase the amount of packet information you get back
-c	Only get x number of packets and then stop
-S	Print absolute sequence numbers
-e	Get the Ethernet header as well

tcpdump –nS	Basic communication
tcpdump -nnvvS	Basic communication (very verbose)
tcpdump -nnvvSX	A deeper look at the traffic
tcpdump -nnvvSXs	Heavy packet viewing
