+Packit (Packet toolkit) is a network auditing tool. Its value is derived from
+its ability to customize, inject, monitor, and manipulate IP traffic. By
+allowing you to define (spoof) nearly all TCP, UDP, ICMP, IP, ARP, RARP, and
+Ethernet header options, Packit can be useful in testing firewalls, intrusion
+detection/prevention systems, port scanning, simulating network traffic, and
+general TCP/IP auditing. Packit is also an excellent tool for learning TCP/IP.
+
+Packit 1.0 requires libnet 1.1.2 or greater, avalaible in SlackBuilds.org
+repository, as well as libpcap which is avalaible with Slackware own n/tcpdump.
