conflict-DoS.c and conflictd.c are tools which spoof arp packets to make an annoying popup message appear on the target windows machine. It is faster to close all the boxes than reboot. Tested on FreeBSD 4.0. Uses libnet.

Hunt (linux binary distribution) is a program for intruding into a tcp connection, watching it and resetting it. It can handle all connections it sees. Features: Connection Management - setting what connections you are interested in, detecting an ongoing connection (not only SYN started), Normal active hijacking with the detection of the ACK storm, ARP spoofed/Normal hijacking with the detection of successful ARP spoof, synchronization of the true client with the server after hijacking (so that the connection don't have to be reset), resetting connection, watching connection; Daemons - reset daemon for automatic connection resetting, arp spoof/relayer daemon for arp spoofing of hosts with the ability to relay all packets from spoofed hosts, MAC discovery daemon for collecting MAC addresses, sniff daemon for logging TCP traffic with the ability to search for a particular string; Packet Engine - extensible packet engine for watching TCP, UDP, ICMP and ARP traffic, collecting TCP connections with sequence numbers and the ACK storm detection; Switched Environment - hosts on switched ports can be spoofed, sniffed and hijacked too; much, much more. Requires Linux 2.2, GlibC 2.1 with LinuxThreads, Ethernet.
