Hello!

I've been working on Blitzping for the past few weeks. Blitzping is an open-source (GPLv3.0+) packet-crafting and sending utility designed to
be much faster, more portable, and more configurable than existing tools like nping and hping3.

<snip>

In terms of protocol support, as of the time of writing, the IPv4
interface is complete and the TCP frontend is almost finished, too. Afterward, I will be adding IPv6, UDP, and ICMP support.

(There's also an entry in the FSF directory for Blitzping: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Blitzping)

Thanks for this!

I can see this tool being useful for stress-testing some of my embedded systems (with Blitzping running on a PC). I'll keep a note of it for
later use.

Do you foresee this being added to the standard Debian repositories, to
reach a wider audience?

You're welcome!

Yes, I do want to eventually add it to various package repositories
(including Debian's); I am waiting for the project to get to a stable
and feature-complete milestone before submitting it there, however.
