Network Disruptions When Updating/Upgrading. The apt-get upgrade and apt-get install commands cause disruptions to network services. The apt-get upgrade command might result in services being restarted or stopped as part of the upgrade process.; The apt-get install command might disrupt core services by changing core service dependency packages.; In some cases, installing new packages. A tcpreplay security update has been released for Fedora 31. SECURITY: Fedora 31 Update: tcpreplay-4.3.3-3.fc31. Tcpreplay Examples.

Extending the firmware to perform more elaborate match/action processing is now a “simple matter of programming”. 4 launched an Undercover Mode that can be used to make the Kali desktop look like Windows 10 quickly.

- Note that this is very much a 'best effort' and long delays between sending packets may cause equally long delays between printing statistics.

- - [rcfile], --save-opts[=rcfile]
- Save the option state to rcfile. The default is the last configuration file listed in the OPTION PRESETS section, below.
- -rcfile, --load-opts=rcfile, --no-load-opts
- Load options from rcfile. The no-load-opts form will disable the loading of earlier RC/INI files. --no-load-opts is handled early, outof order.
Print nothing except the statistics at the end of the run
Allows you to select the packet timing method to use:
nano - Use nanosleep() API
select - Use select() API
ioport - Write to the i386 IO Port 0x80
rdtsc - Use the x86/x86_64/PPC RDTSC
gtod [default] - Use a gettimeofday() loop
abstime - Use OS X's AbsoluteTime API
Reduce the amount of time we would normally sleep between two packets by the specified number of usec. This provides a 'fuzz factor' to compensate forrunning on a non-RTOS and other processes using CPU time. Default is disabled.
Override the calculated number of RDTSC clicks/usec which is often the speed of the CPU in Mhz. Only useful if you specified --timer=rdtsc
When enabling verbose mode (-v) you may also specify one or more additional arguments to pass to tcpdump to modify the way packets aredecoded. By default, -n and -l are used. Be sure to quote the arguments like: -A '-axxx' so that they are not interpreted by tcpreplay. Please see thetcpdump(1) man page for a complete list of options.
Cache pcap file(s) the first time they are cached in RAM so that subsequent loops don't incurr any disk I/O latency in order to increase performance. Makesure you have enough free RAM to store the entire pcap file(s) in memory or the system will swap and performance will suffer.
This option loads the specified pcap(s) into RAM before starting to send in order to improve replay performance while introducing a startup performance hit.Preloading can be used with or without --loop and implies --enable-file-cache.
By default, tcpreplay will send packets based on the size of the 'snaplen' stored in the pcap file which is usually the correct thing to do. However,occasionally, tools will store more bytes then told to. By specifying this option, tcpreplay will ignore the snaplen field and instead try to send packetsbased on the original packet length. Bad things may happen if you specify this option.
By default, tcpreplay will send all the packets. Alternatively, you can specify a maximum number of packets to send.
Specify a floating point value to modify the packet replay speed. Examples:
Specify a floating point value for the Mbps rate that tcpreplay should send packets at.
Allows you to step through one or more packets at a time.
Tcpreplay Edit
When trying to send packets at very high rates, the time between each packet can be so short that it is impossible to accurately sleep for the requiredperiod of time. This option allows you to send multiple packets at a time, thus allowing for longer sleep times which can be more accuratelyimplemented.
Option Presets
Any option that is not marked as not presettable may be preset by loading values from configuration ('RC' or '.INI') file(s). The homerc fileis '$$/', unless that is a directory. In that case, the file '.tcpreplayrc' is searched for within that directory.
Signals
tcpreplay understands the following signals:
SIGUSR1 Suspend tcpreplay
SIGCONT Restart tcpreplay

Bugs
What Is Tcpreplay
tcpreplay can only send packets as fast as your computer's interface, processor, disk and system bus will allow.
Packet timing at high speeds is a black art and very OS/CPU dependent.
Replaying captured traffic may simulate odd or broken conditions on your network and cause all sorts of problems.
In most cases, you can not replay traffic back to/at a server.
Some operating systems by default do not allow for forging source MAC addresses. Please consult your operating system's documentation and the tcpreplay FAQif you experience this issue.

Replay captured network traffic
Tcpreplay is a tool to replay captured network traffic. Currently,tcpreplay supports pcap (tcpdump) and snoop capture formats. Alsoincluded, is tcpprep a tool to pre-process capture files to allowincreased performance under certain conditions as well as capinfowhich provides basic information about capture files.
