DESCRIPTION

Hyenae is a highly flexible and platform independent network packet generator. It allows you to reproduce low level ethernet attack scenarios (such as MITM, DoS and DDoS) to reveal potential security vulnerabilities of your network. Besides smart wildcard-based address randomization and a highly customizable packet generation control, Hyenae comes with a clusterable remote daemon for setting up distributed attack networks.

Hyenae was developed with ease-of-use in mind while still remaining flexible and configurable. To realize this aim, Hyenae uses address patterns, which will minimize the number of arguments you have to provide because all necessary parameters, such as the way you want to randomize your addresses or the IP address version to use, can be derived from the pattern format you provided. See Hyenae Users Manual, "Address Patterns", for more detailed information.

This utility suite was developed only for network security testing purposes such as evaluation of firewall rules, flood detection and intrusion detection. Hyenae's developers disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect or consequential damages arising out of or connected with the use or misuse of Hyenae Utility Suite. The user alone assumes all risks and responsibility of his/her own actions associated with the use of the Hyenae Utility Suite. Every effort has been made to supply accurate information related to Hyenae. It is subject to change without prior notice.

OPTIONS

-i Network interface to attack on
(specified by name). This will not set
the network interface on which to
listen for connections.

-I Network interface to attack on
(specified by index). This will not
set the network interface on which to
listen for connections. A list of all
available network interfaces and their
indexes can be obtained by starting
Hyenae with the -l option.

-a IP address to bind the daemon's
server socket to. If not given, the
daemon will bind to any capable
network interface on this machine. The
Hyenae Daemon can not be bound to the
network interface you want to attack
from.

-p The port number on which the
daemon shall listen for incoming
connections. By default the daemon
will listen on port 666.

-b Number of backlog connections
the daemon shall handle. The default
value is 5.

-t Trusted IP address list.
Specifies an IP list file which will
be used as a trusted list of IP
addresses. If set, only clients using
the specified IP addresses will be
allowed to connect to the daemon. An
IP address list has the following
format:

# Comment
IP-Address=[IP-Address]
IP-Address=[IP-Address]
...

Wildcards are not valid within IP
address list files.

-T Untrusted IP address list.
Specifies an IP list file which will
be used as a list of untrusted IP
addresses. If set, all clients using
the specified IP addresses will not be
able to connect to the daemon. An IP
address list has the following format:

# Comment
IP-Address=[IP-Address]
IP-Address=[IP-Address]
...

Wildcards are not valid within IP
address list files.

-A IP version the listening socket
shall use. This can be either 4 or 6.
The default version is 4 (IPv4).

-c Packet limit for clients.
Specifies the maximum number of
packets a single client can request to
attack with. If not set or set to 0,
you must specify an attack duration
limit.

-u Attack duration limit for
clients. Specifies the maximum number
of milliseconds a single client can
request to attack for. If not set or
set to 0, you must specify a packet
limit.

-m Maximum number of clients
allowed to connect. The default value
is 10.

-k Password protection. If set,
only clients which are using this
password will be able to control this
daemon. Note: Since Hyenae currently
does not support encrypted
communication, your password is
transferred in plain text, and can be
logged by others.

-f Log-File path. By default, all
daemon logs will be written to
/var/log/hyenaed.log on *nix systems
or .\hyenaed.log on windows systems.

-l Prints a list of all available
network interfaces and exits.

-V Prints the current version of
Hyenae and exits.
