As part of a controlled network stress test, a security analyst wants to determine whether a target web server will mishandle overlapping TCP/IP fragments and exhaust reassembly resources (a Teardrop-style test). The analyst intends to send many TCP SYN packets to port 80, force IP fragmentation, and set the TCP MSS to encourage fragments that can overlap when reassembled.
Which single hping3 command below best matches that intent?
