In the past I have used tools from Network Instruments. http://www.networkinstruments.com/ NI is a competitor to WildPackets, but priced more aggressively and I prefer the feature integration. Others items: -- www.komodia.com has a simple, free Win32 packet gen util that I've used several times, but not for high-rate transmission of packets (e.g.-multigig). -- There was also one called Spastic for Win32 that was supposed to be fast; didn't try it myself. </Google> -- If you have money to blow, there is a company that makes high-speed appliances for this purpose. I believe the name is Spirent & Clearsight networks. If you look at the NSS IPS testing reports, I believe they use this solution as part of their testing. -- Blade Software offers firewall and IDS/IPS testing software that looks interesting, though again I have not used it myself either. </cheap_disclaimers> -- If you Google for firewall packet testing, firewalking, etc., you will produce a lot of links for open source utilities, including some interesting client/server apps that let you craft packets; you could probably replay a given recording of a valid protocol stream fairly easily with one of these client/server apps. Of course, everyone has mentioned hping already, Arian J. Evans FishNet Security Note: Microsoft Office breaks text-based emails by default.

-----Original Message----- From: ankur jindal [mailto:ankurjn113 () hotmail com] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 1:27 PM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Packet Generation Hi I have written a small IPS system and I wanted to test it against high speed (GBps if possible) and high amount of traffic. Could someone tell me what tools I can use to do that? What I am specifically looking for is packet generation tools that would create arbitrary traffic consisting of multiple protocols.
