traffic generators.

TRex - TRex is an open source, low cost, stateful and stateless traffic generator fuelled by DPDK. It generates L4-7 traffic based on pre-processing and smart replay of real traffic templates . TRex amplifies both client and server side traffic and can scale up to 200Gb/sec with one UCS.

D-ITG - (Distributed Internet Traffic Generator) is a platform capable to produce traffic at packet level accurately replicating appropriate stochastic processes for both IDT (Inter Departure Time) and PS (Packet Size) random variables (exponential, uniform, cauchy, normal, pareto, …). D-ITG supports both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic generation and it is capable to generate traffic at network, transport, and application layer.

iperf3 - iperf is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, protocols, and buffers. For each test it reports the measured throughput / bitrate, loss, and other parameters.

Bees with Machine Guns! - A utility for arming (creating) many bees (micro EC2 instances) to attack (load test) targets (web applications).

LOCTUS - app to define user behaviour with Python code, and swarm the system with millions of simultaneous users. This allows for much more true-to-life testing. It was used to load test Battlelog (the online service for Battlefield 3) and successfully simulated over 2 million concurrent users hitting the service using EC2.

Siege - Siege is an open source regression test and benchmark utility. It can stress test a single URL with a user defined number of simulated users, or it can read many URLs into memory and stress them simultaneously.

Slowloris - Slowloris is basically an HTTP Denial of Service attack that affects threaded servers.

Mausezahn - is a free fast traffic generator written in C which allows you to send nearly every possible and impossible packet. It is mainly used to test VoIP or multicast networks but also for security audits to check whether your systems are hardened enough for specific attacks.
