Nemesis (software)

Nemesis is a command line tool for creating and injecting network packets ( packet injector ) for UNIX-like and Windows systems.

Nemesis is designed to natively create and inject ARP , DNS , ETHERNET , ICMP , IGMP , IP , OSPF , RIP , TCP and UDP packets. Almost any custom packet can be created and injected using the IP and Ethernet injection modes. This makes Nemesis ideal for testing network intrusion detection systems , firewalls , IP stacks and a variety of other tasks.

Nemesis supports the operating systems BSD , Linux , Solaris , Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows .

Nemesis was originally developed from 1999 by Mark Grime and the entire functionality in version 1.4 by the new maintainer and developer Jeff Nathan in 2003 was combined into a single utility.
