Subject: [AFMUG] Packet/Traffic Generation Tools

I apologize for the quantity of mostly on-topic questions I'm about to ask in 
2-3 different emails.

For this instance (of the on-topic question emails), I am looking for 
recommendations for tools to generate traffic for testing purposes, 
specifically the ability to generate things like certain multicast protocol 
packets and arp floods and various other specific packet types.   I need to do 
some stress testing of one of my products and need to be able to generate 
various packets at will.  Some will be based on something I captured, others 
will be strategically crafted to perhaps cause an issue.

Last time I did this there were only horrible command line tools and GUI 
programs under windows neither of which were very pleasant to use.   I believe 
I ended up hacking together some code to make this work, which I could do 
again, but I'd really rather take a more lazy approach.

I'm hopeful I can find some intuitive tool which runs preferably under Windows, 
but if not under Linux is acceptable.   I'd love to stay away from composing 
this on a command line since that is unwieldy.

Here are some commands(linux) that I used for ddos testing. Change ip to
your target

#tcp sync flood at 5000 packets per sec
nping --tcp --dest-port 80 --flags syn --rate 5000 -c 100 -v-1 8.8.8.8

# many tcp options at 5000 packets pe
nping --tcp --dest-port 80 --flags cwr,ecn,urg,ack,psh,rst,syn,fin --rate
5000 -c 100 -v-1 8.8.8.8

#udp flood on port 53 at 5000 packets per sec
nping --udp --dest-port 53 --data-string 3000 --rate 5000 -c 100 -v-1
8.8.8.8

#udp flood on port  65535 using 1500 byte packets
(cat /dev/urandom | nc -u 8.8.8.8  65535&); sleep 60; fuser -n udp , 8.8.8.8
  ,65535 -k
