• Traceroute using a TCP scan to a specific destination port:

hping3 --traceroute --verbose --syn --destport 80 ip_or_hostname

• Scan a set of TCP ports on a specific IP address:

hping3 --scan 80,3000,9000 --syn ip_or_hostname

• Perform a TCP ACK scan to check if a given host is alive:

hping3 --count 2 --verbose --destport 80 --ack ip_or_hostname
