Irpas
web: http://www.phenoelit-us.org/irpas
Licence: free for non commercial
Platform: linux
Description: Set of tools which can be scripted for larger tests while using the protocolsas CDP, IRDP, IGRP, EIGRP (discovery), RIPv1 (discovery), RIPv2 (discovery), OSPF (discovery), HSRP, HCP DORA, ICMP redirects. IRPAS is not a collection of exploits. While several circumstances can lead to a denail of service attack, the tools try to implement routing protocol functionality as described by the papers, therefore enabling the user of these tools (probably you) to design it's own customized attack.
Another nice side effect is that people used to point-and-click attack tools should have some difficulties to use a raw IGRP sender tool.

Pyrit
web: http://code.google.com/p/pyrit/
Licence: free
Platform: multiplatform

Pyrit's implementation allows to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time-tradeoff. The performance gain for real-world-attacks is in the range of three orders of magnitude which urges for re-consideration of the protocol's security. Exploiting the computational power of Many-Core- and other platforms through ATI-Stream, Nvidia CUDA, OpenCL and VIA Padlock, it is currently by far the most powerful attack against one of the world's most used security-protocols.
