Tcpreplay is a suite of BSD licensed tools written by Aaron Turner for UNIX (and Win32 under Cygwin) operating systems which gives you the ability to use previously captured traffic in libpcap format to test a variety of network devices. It allows you to classify traffic as client or server, rewrite Layer 2, 3 and 4 headers and finally replay the traffic back onto the network and through other devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, NIDS and IPS's. Tcpreplay supports both single and dual NIC modes for testing both sniffing and inline devices.
Tcpreplay is used by numerous firewall, IDS, IPS and other networking vendors, enterprises, universities, labs and open source projects.

Of course, if you are a student (or anyone else for ...
GSoC 2009
Well I decided to throw my hat into the ring for being a mentoring organization for the 2009 Google Summer of Code for Tcpreplay. Obviously Tcpreplay will be one of the smallest "organizations" to submit an application so I can't say that I have high hopes of being accepted, ...

Tcprecast! Episode #1
I've decided to get on the bus with all the cool kids and start my own video podcast called Tcprecast! I'm hoping to make Tcprecast! a how-to smorgasbord of all things Tcpreplay and then some.
