Chris would like to send a custom-crafted TCP packet to a remote system. What utility can he use to meet this requirement?
A. tcpdump
B. pathping
C. hping
D. ping
Correct Answer: C
The hping command may be used to send custom-crafted packets to a remote destination. This is our correct answer. The ping and pathping commands can generate packets but do not allow full customization. They only allow some configuration, which is not what we are looking for. The tcpdump command is used to capture network traffic, another incorrect answer.
