Hi Lyndon, Be sure to summarize your findings from everyone (email the list). I was thinking Nessus and use denial of service type attack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nessus_%28software%29 I'm not sure though.

They are currently having problems with the software due to the sheer volume of network traffic that is occurring. I need to replicate this environment, but I have not been able to find a method which will guarantee the volume of traffic. Pinging, port scanning and other such basics simply don't provide enough. I was hoping someone here might point me towards a site, or tool, that could generate immense amounts of network activity so I can track down the problem. Any assistance you can give would be extremely appreciated Lyndon - Bothered & Bewildered right now
