Before I go to the trouble of making one myself, does anybody happen to know of a pre-canned program to generate realistic and scalable amounts of broadcast/broad-multicast network background "chatter" seen on typical consumer and business networks? This would be things like lots of ARP traffic to/from various sources/destinations within a subnet, SSDP, MDNS-SD, SMB browser traffic, DHCP requests, etc.?
For protocol fuzzing I've used 'Codenomicon', which since has been acquired by synopsys: (this is about trying to offer various type of bad PDUs to protocol) https://www.synopsys.com/software-integrity/security-testing/fuzz-testing.html For volumetric protocol testing I've used 'Spirent Avalanche': (this is more like https or imaps users etc) https://www.spirent.com/products/avalanche-security-testing There are other commercial options in this space and I'm not familiar with recent developments. Not sure if either really fit your bill. I guess you could ask someone with a chatty LAN to record it, and play the pcap back. -- ++ytti
