Projektgeschichte

The official homepage describes fragroute as an implementation of most attacks from the January 1998 Secure Networks paper on eluding network intrusion detection. The bundled license covers 2001 and 2002, and the 1.2 source archive contains README and manpage files dated April 2002.

The project belongs to the same early-2000s packet-manipulation culture as libdnet and libpcap-based security tools. Its author page distributed source tarballs and plain-text manpages rather than a modern public source-control repository.

Adoptionsgeschichte

fragroute's official page documented builds on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, and Windows 2000, with dependencies on libdnet, libpcap, libevent, and platform tunnel drivers. The bundled scripts include notes for attacks reported against Snort 1.8.3 in January 2002, anchoring the tool in IDS regression testing practice.

Wie es verwendet wird

The fragroute executable reads a ruleset and a target host, then applies directives such as delay, duplicate, drop, fragment, overlap, print, reorder, segment, source-route, TTL, and TOS changes to outbound packets. fragtest complements it by probing a remote host's IP fragment reassembly behavior.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package-history purposes, fragroute is significant because it is a tarball-era security utility that remains packaged long after its original homepage workflow. It preserves a specific moment in IDS testing, before many tools moved to GitHub and before network evasion testing became a routine part of security lab distributions.

Related projects

• Official dependencies and related tools named by the project include libdnet, libpcap, libevent, fragtest, Snort test scripts, CIPE-Win32, and TUN/TAP drivers. The manpage contrasts fragroute with fragrouter by noting that fragroute affects only local outbound traffic.
