My apologies if this isn't the right forum for this question; I'm running into great difficulty finding the right tool for this job short of writing my own. All of the other lists I've tried have come up blank. Basically, I'm looking to test a firewall's capabilities. At the very least, I'd like to have endpoint-to-endpoint creation and analyzation of thousands of concurrent, possibly varying in protocol type, connections through the firewall. At the very most, I'd like something to pen/load test the firewall in order to determine maximum states, connections (vpn and otherwise), etc. Is anyone familiar with a good toolkit or collection of *nix utilities that will do what I'm looking for?
