Description-en: Internetwork Routing Protocol Attack Suite
Despite the "exciting" title this is merely a collection of programs
used for advanced network operations, testing, and debugging.
.
CDP and the route injectors can be useful in a production network.
Several other tools are useful for security and firewall testing.
Finally some tools such as netenum are useful for general admin
scripting.
.
Like all powerful tools, someone whom is terminally stupid could
cause great damage when using these tools, so be careful.
.
