Hi everybody!
I have a problem in using hping, i downloaded hping2.0.0-rc3 and installed it succesfully, but when i want to ping a host eg. ; hping# <host> it says;
[main] physical layer header size unknown
I have a Surecom Ralink RT2500 802.11 wireless LAN card and its configured with YAST and its working fine.
Now what can i do to solve the problem?
thanks :(
You can start by reading TH13's brilliant tutorials. Click here to find them. The thing is you haven't set TCP flags or even a port to craft packets to. If you want to ping something, why not simply use 'ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'? ;)

Well, even when i set TCP flags and destination port it outputs the same:
linux:~ # hping 192.168.0.1 -S -p 80 -c 2
[main] physical layer header size unknown
thank you
Haven you tried an stable version of the program? :-?
Although its a stable version, i installed rc2, rc1 and the same problem remained.
Wireless SUX. There's probably something about your
network card that's incompatible. Do you have another computer
(wired) to test with?
:cool:
More than likely, hping does not support your wireless card. This isn't uncommon. Many tools have issues with wireless cards. Best bet would be to e-mail the hping mailing list for supported wireless cards.

rcgreen: I dont have another computer running linux, so cant test it, anyway, thank you.
The horse 13: were can i find hpings mailing list? and do i have to change my wireless card? thank you.
Google Is Your Friend
As you can see here, hping do not have a 'help' mailing list. So, I recommend you ask on the security basics mailing list instead - that might get you somewhere. :)
Your second question - probably. Get the list of compatible wireless cards first.
Cheers,
Hmmm, I thought for sure there was a list somewhere or at very least a forum. In any event, you can email the developer directly and I'm sure he will tell you which cards are supported.
Thanks guys
HackerzMaster emailed me to check out this thead, but I can't help as I don't use Hping. If Th13 does not have the answer then I don't know who will.
OK but irongeek do you know a powerful alternative for hping?
