Yes, it's from randpkt, which just fills packets with random data:

$ man randpkt

    ...

NAME
       randpkt − Random Packet Generator

SYNOPSIS
       randpkt [ −b <maxbytes> ] [ −c <count> ] [ −t <type> ] <filename>

DESCRIPTION
       randpkt is a small utility that creates a libpcap trace file full of
       random packets.

       By creating many randomized packets of a certain type, you can test
       packet sniffers to see how well they handle malformed packets.  The
       sniffer can never trust the data that it sees in the packet because you
       can always sniff a very bad packet that conforms to no standard.
       randpkt produces *very* *bad* packets.
