Hi all,
i'm new to the list and i need a tool to test some web server.
The tool i'm watching for have to send a raw http packet with a http
request for a page from a specified IP
--
GET http://www.the_host_to_test.kind/dir/page.asp?var=value
from a specified IP [Not my because i've to test how the server react
for different host]

I don't mind the result of the request, i've only to watch the server
[obviously].
Someone know a tool that can do that?

Do you mean you want a tool that performs the HTTP GET operation using a
spoofed IP?

That is not possible as there is the usual 3-way handshake. (SYN,
SYN/ACK, ACK)
The only way (to my knownledge) is to spoof all packets.
This means that you need a pentesting-computer located in the same
network as the IP you want to spoof.
The application you are looking for needs to sniff the network and get
the ID's of the SYN/ACK reply to it's able to send the final ACK.

I'm sorry but I don't really know a tool that does all this for you.
(but should be possible using self-written-scripts and output from tcpdump)

Good luck with your search.
