the above answer is an easy and efficient solution but if you want to install through tar.gz first you need to extract is using
tar -xvvf [filename.tar.gz]
then you need to configure the source code contained in tar.gz with command
./configure
after that do
make
make install
to install your program and you are done.
PS: you need to be present in the specific folder extracted. that's all.
AFAIK, it should be already available in Ubuntu repositories (12.10), so simply do this:
sudo apt-get install hping3
In case that it's really tar.gz, then you can extract it by using: tar -xvzf hping3.tar.gz
Then, you have to compile the source code, typically by using "make" command (you'll need installing the build tools):
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Take this as a hint ;-).
