How to simulate an incoming tcp packet?

Question

I've created a simple application that listens to certain incoming TCP messages

I could write a bit of code to send out a TCP message manually, but I was wondering if there was an easier way of sending "fake" incoming TCP messages. I searched around a bit but I didn't find an easy method of doing this.

What do you mean by "send an incoming message"? Incoming messages are received. — Brian White

If your application has a simple text protocol, you can just use telnet localhost port. Otherwise look into netcat
