-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


Spak (Send PAcKet) is a collection of programs that can be used to
create and send a packet over a network.  Spak is designed to be very
modular and allow as much control over the design of the packet as
possible.  The modules included with this release are:

makeip       Make an IP packet
maketcp      Make a TCP packet
makeudp      Make a UDP packet
makearp      Make an ARP/RARP packet
makeeth      Make an Ethernet frame
sendpacket   Send a packet to a socket
sendeth      Send an Ethernet frame

Spak was designed to be used as part of a firewall testing project to
create arbitrary packets, but there are undoubtedly other uses, ("good"
and "bad"), that this sort of program may be used to accomplish.  It is
the authors desire that this program will be used to learn about various
protocols or for testing purposes and not for malicious behavior.

The LSM is as follows:

Entered-date:   02MAR98
Description:    SPAK (Send PAcKet) is a set of tools for generating
                arbitrary packets and sending them to a socket.  All
                fields of an IP, TCP, UDP, or ARP header may be set using
                arguments to the various programs.  The programs may
                be "piped" togeather to create, for example, a TCP packet
                encapsulated within an IP packet.  This release includes
                makeip, maketcp, makeudp, makearp, makeeth, sendpacket,
                and sendeth.
