several other extensions, as well as the built-in [socket], all have capabilities.

http://hexinject.sourceforge.net/%|%HexInject is a versatile packet injector and sniffer, that provides a command-line framework for raw network access.  It includes a packet forger, written in Tcl, which uses a simple packet representation format based on [hping3]'s packet description format.

A command-line [UDP] packet reflector/forwarder with optional Tcl/Tk interface: [https://web.archive.org/web/20080516051421/www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/s.bhatti/teaching/z02/reflector.html]. 

This application operates in two modes:

   *     packet reflector that sends UDP packets back to the host that sent them.
   *     packet forwarder that forwards packets between a number of unicast UDP sources acting as bridge when multicast is not available. 

The reflector will also drop packets, duplicate packets, and add jitter on a per port basis. The default method of setting parameters is through a Tcl/Tk user interface, but they can also be sent to the application via TCP so they can be set by TELNET or alternate interfaces.
