Connection Stress Tester

August 23rd, 2006 Leave a comment Go to comments

As many of you know I participate regularly on AntiOnline (an online IT/Security Community). Recently, someone was looking for a connection stress tester... There are many available.. Blast by Foundstone comes to mind. I decided that they needed something simpler, all they wanted to do was test the number of connections a server could handle. The result was a little script that I wrote up. It's fairly basic but it does the trick. I've added some basic error checking (let me know if you want specific errors caught) and a usage function and now I'm putting it here for all of you to download (should you desire to). You can download it from here. Let me know what you think and if you want to see any additions... or a tutorial on the subject.

Peace,
HT

    Interesting – I’m going to check it out now! Cheers HT!

    Some links you might like to check out (source code available):

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/networkstresser/
    http://www.mindcraft.com/webstone/

    And I downloaded another stress tester the other day, written in C… I think it was coded by Alan Cox, but I’m not sure. I’ll have to find it!
