proof of PoD

hi,

due to the announcement of Microsoft, I like to test our Servers if they
could handle Ping of death.
So neither ping6 nor the kernel (with raw-sockets) let me create oversized
ICMP6 packages.

How can this be done? (I don'r want to install win95, nt or kernel < 2.2)

Thanks for help

Greeting,

Discussion about same subject[1]. Are you trying to test this from Debian
machine? There is easy way to be sure[2], but this solution might cast different
problems.

Thanks henri, I hoped there is an pcap programm for this. I was already to
manupulate the return code in 2.6 (to not return EMSGSIZE), so ping6 would
never notice a "Message too long".
Oh and yes: I'm doing it on debian. So no need for this win32-installer ;)
