💖 mz.cfg(1) — the Mausezahn config file, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found the manual page for mz.cfg from the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? iconic. let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mz — a fast versatile packet generator 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/etc/mausezahn/mz.cfg

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Mausezahn is a free, fast traffic generator written in C, and the way it lets you send nearly every possible and impossible packet?? no cap, it's giving unlimited power. 🔥

Mausezahn's MOPS subsystem (Mausezahn's Own Packet System) supports an interactive mode with a Cisco-style command line interface (CLI). to activate that interactive mode, you run Mausezahn with the -x argument, optionally followed by an arbitrary TCP port number, like this:

# mz -x 99

and then you can connect to Mausezahn via:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 99

if you don't specify a port number, Mausezahn just uses the default port number 25542 (which, fyi, is the date of towel day followed by the answer to the universe and everything — but bestie, you genuinely do not need to understand that in order to continue 💀).

Login credentials as well as other MOPS-related parameters can be specified in the Mausezahn configuration file mz.cfg, located in etc/mausezahn. and rn? user-specific configuration files are not supported. 🙈

if there's no configuration file present, Mausezahn assumes these default login credentials:

username: mz
password: mz
enable password: mops

currently only login credentials can be configured within the configuration file. here's an example of what /etc/mausezahn/mz.cfg looks like inside:

user = herbert
password = moTTe
enable = T0p5ecreT

additional configuration options will be officially supported with the next releases. ⭐
