ICMPpush was great - the same author (Slay) has also published a more
advanced tool called SING.  SING adds support for fragmentation, source
routing, fingerprinting, mimic techniques, an just more control over the
packet overall.

If you are interested in packetshaping, you might want to check out my
Whitehats security tools archive.  There are currently 28 tools in the
packetshaping catagory, including icmppush and sing:
