How to forcibly close a socket in TIME_WAIT?

Actually there is a way to kill a connection – killcx. They claim it works in any state of the connection (which I have not verified). You need to know the interface where communication happens though, it seems to assume eth0 by default.

UPDATE: another solution is cutter which comes in some linux distros’ repositories.
