Intelligent network traffic generator
Does anybody know of any intelligent network traffic generation software or hardware? I'm looking for something along the lines of SAST (Security Assessment Security Toolkit) that emulates the activities of human users on a network. The traffic generation need not be specifically for security testing.

Yes, but I think he wants it automated.
I was also thinking you could use NMAP's NSE. You could either create a shell script that randomly/semi-randomly fires off a script, or you could create your own scripts. -

However, I'm looking for traffic generators and this was the closest thing I could find.In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

OptionsJDMurray Admin Posts: 13,031 AdminI never did find a free or Open Source solution to this. It looks like hardware is needed to really provide the kind of control over traffic generation and monitoring that I needed at the time. Software-only solutions can mimic LAN usage in an office environment, but can't really extend to a good emulation of a corporate (enterprise) network.
