oops,,,sorry list i forgot to mention that one should
manipulate SO_BROADCAST option on UDP sockets.

this doesnt work on TCP so you are on your own on that one..

ignore the bogus manner in which it treats bcast addresses.

the other info is worth the trade off.

netcat (nc shows up under ps) might be usefull...

itsa net utility which does I-O across connex using tcp/ip.

it can make its paths or driven by other programs like ssh.

its got a lot of debug and discovery modules in it so it can (and has)
create
almost any kind of connection..........and some other `interesting
built-ins`.

does:

any tcp or udp 
any direction
any tcp port
any udp port

sound godd...wait ther's more..

tunnel with any/all params on/off.
excellent at port-scanning YOUR own networks
clock controlled buffered send-mode like 1 every X seconds
hexdump
std<err,out> available which means this stuff can be send to tthe syslogs if
desired.


and as usual mileage will vary.....make sure you have permission to do this
if you aint sure ask again...

nufsaid.

Thanks... though Jason's explanation was rather better :)

tcpdump is an excellent tool, but ( excuse me if I'm stating the obvious
), don't underestimate the usefulness of the logging rules in IPTables
combined with 

tail -f /var/log/$logfile | grep $string_you_are_looking_for
