iperf, Iperf, or iPerf, is a tool for network performance measurement and tuning. It is a cross-platform tool that can produce standardized performance measurements for any network. iperf has client and server functionality, and can create data streams to measure the throughput between the two ends in one or both directions. [2]
A typical method of performing a measurement is to transfer a 'large' file from one system to another system and measure the time required to complete the transfer or copy of the file. The throughput is then calculated by dividing the file size by the time to get the throughput in megabits, kilobits, or bits per second.
nuttcp. The program ttcp (Test TCP) is a utility for measuring network throughput, popular on Unix systems. It measures the network throughput between two systems using the TCP or optionally UDP protocols. [1] It was written by Mike Muuss and Terry Slattery at BRL sometime before December 1984, [2] to compare the performance of TCP stacks by ...
The integrated penetration testing tool, SAINTexploit, demonstrates the path an attacker could use to breach a network and quantifies the risk to the network. SAINTexploit includes a Web site emulator and e-mail forgery tool. [6] Penetration testing tools from SAINT are designed to simulate both internal and external real-world attacks.
TCP/IP stack fingerprinting. Passive OS Fingerprinting method and diagram. TCP/IP stack fingerprinting is the remote detection of the characteristics of a TCP/IP stack implementation. The combination of parameters may then be used to infer the remote machine's operating system (aka, OS fingerprinting), or incorporated into a device fingerprint.
Tcptrace. tcptrace is a free and open-source tool for analyzing TCP dump files. [1] [2] [3] It accepts as input files produced by packet-capture programs, including tcpdump, Wireshark, and snoop . tcptrace can produce several different types of output containing information on each connection seen, such as elapsed time, bytes and segments sent ...
Network performance refers to measures of service quality of a network as seen by the customer. There are many different ways to measure the performance of a network, as each network is different in nature and design. Performance can also be modeled and simulated instead of measured; one example of this is using state transition diagrams to ...
Packet Sender. Packet Sender is an open source utility to allow sending and receiving TCP and UDP packets. It also supports TCP connections using SSL, intense traffic generation, HTTP (S) GET/POST requests, and panel generation. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is licensed GNU General Public License v2 and is free software. [ 1]
