+DESCRIPTION
+
+	hping6 is a network tool able to send custom ICMP/UDP/TCP
+	packets and to display target replies like ping do with
+	ICMP replies. hping6 handle fragmentation, arbitrary packet
+	body and size and can be used in order to transfer files
+	under supported protocols. Using hping6 you are able at
+	least to perform the following jobs:
+
+	- Test firewall rules
+	- [spoofed] port scanning
+	- Test net performance using differents protocols,
+	  packet size, TOS (type of service) and fragmentation.
+	- Path MTU discovery
+	- Files trasfering even between really fascist firewall rules.
+	- Traceroute like under different protocols.
+	- Firewalk like usage.
+	- Remote OS fingerprint.
+	- TCP/IP stack auditing.
+	- IPv6 support
+	- A lot of others.
+
+	It's also really a good didactic tool to learn TCP/IP.
+
+	hping6 is developed and manteined by antirez@invece.org
+	and comes under GPL version 2 of license. Developing is
+	open so you can send me patches/suggestions/affronts without
+	inhibitions.
