I can't set up a scenario with bad NetBIOS packets, but I've got a
hub here and should be able to route from one machine to another via
something running natd. I should also be able to set up a dialup
scenario using ppp/libalias.
I think this sort of thing can only really be proven to still work -
it's impractical to try to fake bad network traffic (well, as you
say, it's at least too stressful!).
