You may want to check out Scapy... It is a python based tool that can create any type of packet... Its extremly 
powerful but takes a while to figure out.

hope this helps

I am looking for a tool that can be used to stress the tcp implementation
on our web/application server. I remember there used to be a tool called
EvilTCP that could be integrated
into the bsd/linux kernel to emulate a bad TCP implementation. However I
cannot find it on google. Can anybody help with this or do you know of any
similar utility that I can use to make malformed TCP transactions
(request/response).

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the ISIC tools
collection (and namely TCPSIC) can flood your server with bad TCP fragments.


If I recall, having played with those years ago, if used aggessivly, and 
merely mildly aggessivly, there was not a TCP stack we could find that did 
not get hosed to a state requiring a reboot to recover from.  Those are 
not tools to be played in production envs fer sure.
