pig
A Linux packet crafting tool for generating attack signatures to test IDS/IPS and network security.
What is pig?
Pig is a Linux packet crafting tool that generates network packets with attack signatures for security testing. It helps security professionals and network administrators test intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) by simulating malicious traffic. The tool supports multiple protocols and allows customization of packet signatures to match specific testing requirements.
Network security professionals, penetration testers, and system administrators who need to test IDS/IPS systems or simulate network attacks in controlled environments.
Pig offers a simple, text-based approach to packet crafting with a built-in library of attack signatures, making it accessible for security testing without requiring low-level packet programming. Its support for raw Ethernet frames and geographic IP targeting provides flexibility for advanced network simulations.
