# Performing Packet Injection Attack

## When to Use

- Testing IDS/IPS rules by injecting traffic that should trigger specific detection signatures
- Validating firewall rules by crafting packets with specific flags, source addresses, and payloads
- Assessing network stack resilience to malformed packets, fragmentation attacks, and protocol violations
- Simulating spoofed traffic to test anti-spoofing controls (BCP38, uRPF)
- Performing TCP reset injection to test connection resilience and session hijacking scenarios

**Do not use** for denial-of-service attacks against production systems, for spoofing traffic to frame third parties, or without explicit authorization for the target network.

## Prerequisites

- Written authorization specifying in-scope targets and approved packet injection techniques
