Not really a kit, but a PDF on how to use wireshark to detect forged 
ISP packets.  Basically, the whole document can be summed up to one 
image... 
http://www.eff.org/files/images/issues/testyourisp/results2.png

In this image, you can see a whole bunch of forged TCP RST packets, 
but curiously, legitimate TCP data still comes in!??!  Now, either the 
end host is messing around with you, or your ISP injected packets into 
the stream...
