Open Source Linux Stress Testing Software

PyNuker is a network stress testing tool written in python. Because it is written in python it should run equally well on any system that has Python version 3.x installed. It infinitely(until stopped) sends a string of text via a UDP packet to a target computer or network device in an effort to flood the target with so much useless traffic that it stops responding to valid requests.

Hammerhead is a web site coverage, HTTP load generator, HTTP benchmarking, and stress testing tool. It has been designed to emulate multiple users from multiple IP addresses at maximum speed (unlike it's interpreted counterparts).

Using templated message formats with customisable placeholders, run in configurable sequences that can selectively reuse data between steps, must allows more intelligent testing of syslog receivers with realistic data, as well as longer soak testing and stress testing. must was created to fill a gap found when trying to stress test Splunk as real, indexable and meaningful data was needed. must will (eventually) be provided as a standalone tool that uses XML configs (for quick use and consultancy etc) and as a web-based tool (for more permanent/pretty deployment (with historical reporting and live stats).

DBD2 inserts database records from TCP input. It is a companion project to Syslgod2 and an application in its own right. It ships with a backgrounding client for generic use. The client sends whatever information the user puts on the command-line to the back-end daemon via TCP. Upon successful transmission, the client exits. On failure, it backs off and retries until its life-time timer expires. The back-end daemon accepts data from Syslogd2 or its own client and inserts that data (and envelope information) into one or more databases using MySql client library or dbi drivers (also on SourceForge). The client needs no configuration (all input is via command-line). It is intended for hosts to make database entries without needing database client or interface code. Syslogd2 integration allows DBD2 to act as Syslogd2's database back-end for MySql and other databases supported by the dbi drivers. Original purpose was to track Linux cluster job status but other uses exist.

LEAST is the Lightweight Engine for Application StressTests It provides a framework for stresstest-modules, being able to start and stop these modules according to severeal patterns. After the stresstests being finished, it's able to analyse the lo

Netutils is a collection of libs/classes and tools for network programmers in Python. It provides different classes and methods for custom packet manipulation, network scanning and stress testing. Everything in pure Python

Rserver is a C++ written RADIUS package. Includes daemon, test, stress test and sniffer utilities. Configuration file is a list of rules. Rule may modify packet, pass to AAA engine or to proxy server. Custom AAA engine can be implemented and plugged.
