hping3 is way, way better, as it not only allows to send those, but also shows you the replies.

It's completely off-topic, but is anyone else happy to see those no-bullshit basic HTML pages come up from time to time? Quick to load and leave the formatting to the browser's built-in CSS. I think that's great.

These kinds of bare HTML pages are better than many sites, but a very welcome alternative is applying just a bit of CSS to keep the width of the content at a readable length, apply a bit of spacing to the text between lines so everything isn't bunched up, and a few minor touches like that to enhance readability and make the page look aesthetically nicer.

You can go really, really far with less than 100 lines of CSS essentially.

I think they're great - they remind me of what the internet was like before the marketing departments showed up.

Love it. I find the harder the hardcore Unix(-like) or CS geekery is, the more likely you'll find pages still like this.

Related, there is this nice tool called Packet Sender, a Mac app.

No raw IP packets, but TCP and UDP.
