My apologies if this isn't the right forum for this question; I'm
running into great difficulty finding the right tool for this job short
of writing my own. All of the other lists I've tried have come up
blank.
Basically, I'm looking to test a firewall's capabilities. At the very
least, I'd like to have endpoint-to-endpoint creation and analyzation of
thousands of concurrent, possibly varying in protocol type, connections
through the firewall. At the very most, I'd like something to pen/load
test the firewall in order to determine maximum states, connections (vpn
and otherwise), etc.
Is anyone familiar with a good toolkit or collection of *nix utilities
that will do what I'm looking for?
TIA,
J.
