Libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator, with PCAP editor

Bit-Twist is a simple yet powerful libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator. It is designed to complement tcpdump, which by itself has done a great job at capturing network traffic.

These are just a few significant features that makes Bit-Twist unique and stands out as one of the best Ethernet packet generator package made available to the open source community.

  • Runs on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows
  • Send multiple trace files at a time
  • Send packets at a specific speed or line rate in Mbps
  • Comprehensive trace file editor with control over most fields in Ethernet, ARP, IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP headers with automatic header checksum correction
  • Append user payload to existing packets after a specific header
  • Select a specific range of packets and save them in another trace file
  • Highly scriptable - with proper manipulation you can turn Bit-Twist into an extremely flexible packet generator tool!
