Hping is a flexible command-line tool for penetration and network testing. Its many capabilities make it an excellent option for network managers and security specialists.

A powerful command-line programme called Siege is intended for server and web application benchmarking and stress testing. By simulating concurrent user activity, testers may evaluate a system's capacity to manage heavy traffic and spot performance bottlenecks.

Wrk is a contemporary HTTP benchmarking tool used to gauge server and web application performance. It is notable for being multithreaded and for being able to put a heavy strain on web servers in order to mimic real-world situations.

A specialised tool called THC-SSL-DoS is used to evaluate the security and performance of SSL/TLS services. The Hacker's Choice (THC) created it, and its main objective is to overwhelm servers with a large number of specially constructed SSL/TLS handshakes in order to attack weaknesses in SSL/TLS implementations.

A network tool called Yersinia is made expressly for examining and assessing network protocols and their weaknesses. This tool, which bears the name of the plague-causing bacteria Yersinia pestis, focuses on a variety of network-layer assaults, including attacks against network protocols including DHCP, STP, and VLAN.

T50 is an effective tool for stress testing and testing network equipment, including intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and routers. In order to evaluate the functionality, security, and stability of network infrastructures, it generates a considerable amount of network traffic.
