X - an icmp fingerprinting tool.
a quick and dirty implementation of Ofir Arkin's ICMP fingerprinting:
http://www.sys-security.com/



Requirements:
------------

You will need lipcap.. if libpcap is not installed in standard path,
use --with-libpcap-libraries=/path/ and --with-libcap-includes=/path
options.

Supported platforms:
--------------------

The tool has been succesefully compiled and tested on following platforms:

FreeBSD 4.x (primary development platform)
Linux 2.2.x, 2.4.x
Solaris 2.x
OpenBSD 2.x NetBSD ?


How to install:
---------------

tar xvfz xprobe-{release}.tar.gz
cd xprobe-{release}
./configure
(or ./configure --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-libcap-includes=/usr/local/include)
make
make install

send complains to fygrave@tigerteam.net if the compilation breaks. (use
--enable-debug to track/report errors)

How to use:
-----------

See manul for details. A quick hint:

x [options] hostname[/netmask] (and watch the output). :)

available options:

-h [guess?!] :)
-v be verbose
-i <interface> run on interface (needed if wrong interface is choosen)
-p <portnum>   use <portnum> udp port for udp probe.
