hping3

Advanced ping utility which supports protocols such TCP, UDP, and raw IP.

Best run with elevated priviledges.

• Ping a destination with 4 ICMP ping requests:

hping3 --icmp --count {4} {ip_or_hostname}

• Scan TCP port 80, scanning from the specific local source port 5090:

hping3 --verbose --syn --destport {80} --baseport {5090} {ip_or_hostname}

• Traceroute using a TCP scan to a specific destination port:

hping3 --traceroute --verbose --syn --destport {80} {ip_or_hostname}

• Perform a TCP ACK scan to check if a given host is alive:

hping3 --count {2} --verbose --destport {80} -A {ip_or_hostname}
