mz: allow for zero udp checksum
I have been investigating tools to generate UDP with checksums of
zero for software testing. This is legal in IPv4 but unwise due to
inability to verify the data has not been corrupted.
I found that mausezahn was not able to create these packets due
despite being able to create incorrect UDP checksums. The code does
not distinguish set to zero and unset.
Results as seen by wireshark (UDP checksum verification enabled)
mausezahn eth0 -A 192.168.0.105 -B 192.168.0.104 -t udp "sp=32452,dp=1024" -P Hello
-> UDP checksum is automatically set to the valid value.
mausezahn eth0 -A 192.168.0.105 -B 192.168.0.104 -t udp "sp=32452,dp=1024,udp_sum=1" -P Hello
-> UDP checksum is set to 1 (which is invalid and highlighted by wireshark).
mausezahn eth0 -A 192.168.0.105 -B 192.168.0.104 -t udp "sp=32452,dp=1024,udp_sum=0" -P Hello
-> Before patch the checksum was set to the valid value.
-> After patch the checksum was sent to zero.
