Re: Stress Testing Tools

[Xavier Mertens <xavier () rootshell be>]

A few weeks ago, I configured a lab to stress-test "security" devices like IDS.
It's based on Tomahawk (http://tomahawk.sourceforge.net/). It has not been updated for a while 
(like the other tools you mentioned) but it worked well.
