nemesis is designed to be a command line-based, portable human IP stack for UNIX-like and Windows systems. The suite is broken down by protocol, and should allow for useful scripting of injected packets from simple shell scripts.
nemesis-ethernet provides an interface to craft and inject Ethernet frames allowing the user to inject an entirely arbitrary Ethernet frame.

IFNAME
Specify the name, for UNIX-like systems, or number, for Windows systems, of the IFNAME to use (eg. fxp0, eth0, hme0, 1).
MAC
Specify the source MAC address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).
MAC
Specify the destintion MAC address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).
FILE
This will cause nemesis-ethernet to use the specified payload FILE as the payload when injecting Ethernet frames. The maximum payload size is 1500 bytes in order to account for the maximum Ethernet frame size. Payloads can also be read from stdin by specifying -P- instead.
The payload file can consist of any arbitrary data though it will be most useful to create a payload resembling the structure of a packet type not supported by nemesis. Used in this manner, virtually any link layer frame can be injected.
TYPE
Specify the Ethernet type/length field, as an integer. Valid Ethernet types include, for instance:
0x0200
PUP
0x0800
IP
0x0806
ARP
0x8035
RARP
0x8100
802.1Q
0x86dd
IPv6
0x8863
PPPOE discovery
0x8864
PPPOE session
Display the injected packet in human readable form. Use twice to see a hexdump of the injected packet with printable ASCII characters on the right. Use three times for a hexdump without decoded ASCII.
Lists available network interfaces by number for use in link-layer injection.
NOTE: This feature is only relevant to Windows systems.

nemesis-ethernet returns 0 on a successful exit, 1 if it exits on an error.

nemesis-arp(1), nemesis-dhcp(1), nemesis-dns(1), nemesis-icmp(1), nemesis-igmp(1), nemesis-ip(1), nemesis-ospf(1), nemesis-rip(1), nemesis-tcp(1), nemesis-udp(1).
