    While technically not a pen test, I am trying to do something that I think
    (hope) is inline with some tools that exist for pen testing that folks here
    might be able to turn me onto. I am trying to generate traffic that will be
    dropped out of hand by both switches and routers. The nature of the packet
    (fragment, giant, etc.) isn't as important to me as the ability of the
    switch/router to recognize that the packet needs to be dropped.
    Products/tools that are Windows based are preferred, though Linux and/or
    Solaris are acceptable as well (I'm not as sharp on *nix as I am on Win
    systems). I know I can use something like mismatched duplex settings to
    start generating collisions and such, but I would prefer a method that is
    more controlled if possible. TIA.
