Send Fuzzed Data Packets

Sends fuzzed data packets for network testing.

Terminal

sudo <path/to>/pig.py -f <eth1>

sudo <path/to>/pig.py -f <eth1>

#!/bin/bash

# Send Fuzzed Data Packets
sudo {{path/to}}/pig.py {{[-f|--fuzz]}} {{eth1}}

import subprocess

# Send Fuzzed Data Packets
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values

When To Use

When conducting penetration testing to evaluate the robustness of network services.

Pro Tip

Monitor the network interface carefully; fuzzing can lead to unintentional DoS conditions.

Output

Sending fuzzed data packets to interface eth1...

Packet Type    | Status       
----------------|--------------
Fuzzed Packet 1| Sent

Fuzzed Packet 3| Sent         

Total Packets Sent: 3

Anatomy of Output

Understanding the result

sudo path-to-pig.py -f eth1 Command Executed

Initiates pig.py with fuzzing enabled on eth1.

[INFO] Sending fuzzed packets on eth1... Log Output

Indicates the start of the fuzzing process on the specified interface.

[ERROR] Fuzzing failed: Network unreachable Potential Error

Indicates that the target network is not reachable, check your gateway.

Troubleshooting

Common pitfalls

bash: path-to-pig.py: No such file or directory

Solution: Verify the script's file path is correct and it exists.

sudo: unable to resolve host localhost

Solution: Ensure hostname is set correctly in /etc/hosts.

Operation not permitted

Solution: Run the command with elevated privileges or check permissions.

Command Breakdown

What each part is doing

sudo: Base Command; The executable that performs this operation. Here it runs Path To Pig.py before the shell applies any redirect operators.
<path/to>: path to; The value supplied for path to.
-f: f| fuzz; The value supplied for f| fuzz.
<eth1>: eth1; The value supplied for eth1.
-f: Command Option; Tool-specific option used by this command invocation.

How To Run

Execution path

Step 1
Open terminal and navigate to the script directory.
Step 2
Run the command: sudo path/to/pig.py --fuzz eth1.
