Pnet Hammer LoadTester

Pnet comes with advanced features for real-time metrics, concurrent requests, traffic simulation, user-agent, ip rotation, basic port scanning and fingerprinting, and multi-protocol support, including SSl/TLS , HTTPS, FTP, MQTT, etc. This tool simulates a modern Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) scenario, for anyone looking to test their web infrastructure.

FAQ

Real-Time Metrics

During execution, the program displays live stats:

• Requests Sent
• Successful Requests
• Last Response Time

Data Collection

Results are saved to:

• load_test.log: Logs errors and responses.
• load_test_results.json: Contains response codes and latencies in JSON format.

Traffic Simulation Profiles

The program supports predefined traffic patterns:

• Spike: Simulates a spike in traffic.
• Wave: Simulates waves of traffic.
• Sustained: Simulates sustained high traffic.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please open an issue or submit a pull request if you have any improvements or bug fixes.
