You must be aware of our “List of Web Application Stress Testers“. On the same lines, we have a server stress tester – legitStress!
In our set up environment, we were able to load multiple copies of legitStress. We did have to make some tweaks inorder for it to run to our likings. It offers commonly known attacks – TCP flood & UDP flood. The author also plans to include, RSnakes now infamous – Slowloris and SYN flood.
legitStress is a simple PERL+PHP script with a webpanel and it has a simple set up too. All you need to modify is the config.inc.php, create the MySql Data and configure the server URL in the PERL script and you are ready to stress test a server. Yes, we know that it looks like a script-kiddish tool, but probably, with time, it can get there!
