NAME

tcpkill - kill TCP connections on a LAN  

SYNOPSIS



tcpkill [-v] [-i interface] [-1...9] [expression]
 

DESCRIPTION

tcpkill kills specified in-progress TCP connections (useful for libnids-based applications which require a full TCP 3-whs for TCB creation).  

OPTIONS

-v
Verbose mode.
-i interface
Specify the interface to listen on.
-1...9
Specify the amount of brute force to use in killing a connection. Fast connections may require a higher number in order to land a RST in the shifting connection window. Default is 3.
expression
Specify a tcpdump(8) filter expression to select the connections to kill. If no expression is given, all TCP traffic on the LAN will be killed.
