In contrast to trafgen(8), mausezahn's packet configuration is on protocol-level instead of byte-level and mausezahn also comes with a built-in Cisco-like command-line interface, making it suitable as a network traffic generator box in your network lab. - +.PP Next to network labs, it can also be used as a didactical tool and for security audits including penetration and DoS testing. As a traffic generator, mausezahn is also able to test IP multicast or VoIP networks. Packet rates close to the physical limit are reachable, depending on the hardware platform. - +.PP mausezahn supports two modes, ``direct mode'' and a multi-threaded ``interactive mode''. - +.PP The ``direct mode'' allows you to create a packet directly on the command line and every packet parameter is specified in the argument list when calling mausezahn. - +.PP The ``interactive mode'' is an advanced multi-threaded configuration mode with its own command line interface (cli). This mode allows you to create an arbitrary number of packet types and streams in parallel, each with different parameters. - +.PP The interactive mode utilizes a completely redesigned and more flexible protocol framework called ``mops'' (mausezahn's own packet system). The look and feel of the cli is very close to the Cisco IOS^tm command line. - +.PP You can start the interactive mode by executing mausezahn with the ``-x'' argument (an optional port number may follow, otherwise it is 25542). Then use telnet(1) to connect to this mausezahn instance. If not otherwise specified, the default login/password combination is mz:mz, enable password is: mops. This can be changed in /etc/netsniff-ng/mausezahn.conf. - +.PP The direct mode supports two specification schemes: The ``raw-layer-2'' scheme, where every single byte to be sent can be specified, and ``higher-layer'' scheme, where packet builder interfaces are used (using the ``-t'' option). - +.PP To use the ``raw-layer-2'' scheme, simply specify the desired frame as hexadecimal sequence (the ``hex-string''), such as: - +.PP mausezahn eth0 "00:ab:cd:ef:00 00:00:00:00:00:01 08:00 ca:fe:ba:be" - +.PP In this example, whitespaces within the byte string are optional and separate the Ethernet fields (destination and source address, type field, and a short payload). The only additional options supported are ``-a'', ``-b'', ``-c'', and ``-p''. The frame length must be greater or equal 15 bytes. - +.PP The ``higher-layer'' scheme is enabled using the ``-t <packet-type>'' option. This option activates a packet builder and besides the ``packet-type'' an optional ``arg-string'' can be specified. The ``arg-string'' contains packet-specific parameters, such as TCP flags, port numbers, etc (see example section). - +.PP .SH OPTIONS +.PP mausezahn provides a built-in context-specific help. Thus, simply append the keyword ``help'' after the configuration options. The most important options are: - +.PP .SS -x [<port>] Start mausezahn in interactive mode with a Cisco-like cli. Use telnet to log into the local mausezahn instance. If no port has been specified, port 25542 is used as default. - +.PP .SS -v Verbose mode. Capital -V is even more verbose. - +.PP .SS -S Simulation mode, i.e. don't put anything on the wire. This is typically combined with the verbose mode. - +.PP .SS -q Quiet mode where only warnings and errors are displayed. - +.PP .SS -c <count> Send the packet count times (default: 1, infinite: 0). - +.PP .SS -d <delay> Apply delay between transmissions. The delay value can be specified in usec (default, no additional unit needed), or in msec (e.g. 100m or 100msec), or in seconds (e.g. 100s or 100sec). Note: mops also supports nanosecond delay granulation if you need it (see interactive mode). - +.PP .SS -p <lenght> Pad the raw frame to specified length using zero bytes. Note that for raw layer 2 frames the specified length defines the whole frame length, while for higher layer packets the number of additional padding bytes are specified. - +.PP .SS -a <src-mac|keyword> Use specified source MAC address with hex notation such as 00:00:aa:bb:cc:dd. By default the interface MAC address will be used. The keywords ``rand'' and ``own'' refer to a random MAC address (only unicast addresses are created) and the own address, respectively. You can also use the keywords mentioned below although broadcast-type source addresses are officially invalid. - +.PP .SS -b <dst-mac|keyword> Use specified destination MAC address.

If you want to send more packets then use the count option -c <count>. When count is zero then mausezahn will send forever. Per default mausezahn sends at maximum speed (and this is really fast ;-)). If you don't want to overwhelm your network devices or have other reasons to send at a slower rate then you might want to specify a delay using the -d <delay> option. - +.PP If you only specify a numeric value it is interpreted in microsecond units. Alternatively, for easier use, you might specify units such as seconds sec or milliseconds msec. (You can also abbreviate this with s or m.) Note: Don't use spaces between the value and the unit!
