Ostinato is an open-source, cross-platform network packet crafter/traffic
generator and analyzer with a friendly GUI. Craft and send packets of several
streams with different protocols at different rates. Ostinato aims to be
"Wireshark in Reverse" and become complementary to Wireshark.
.
Features:
* Open, edit, replay and save PCAP files
* Support for the most common standard protocols:
- Ethernet/802.3/LLC SNAP
- VLAN (with QinQ)
- ARP, IPv4, IPv6, IP-in-IP IP Tunnelling (6over4, 4over6, 4over4, 6over6)
- TCP, UDP, ICMPv4, ICMPv6, IGMP, MLD
- Any text based protocol (HTTP, SIP, RTSP, NNTP etc.)
- GRE
* Modify any field of any protocol (some protocols allow changing packet
fields with every packet at run time e.g. changing IP/MAC addresses)
* User provided Hex Dump - specify some or all bytes in a packet
* User defined script to substitute for an unimplemented protocol
(EXPERIMENTAL)
* Stack protocols in any arbitrary order
* Create and configure multiple streams
* Configure stream rates, bursts, no. of packets
* Single client can control and configure multiple ports on multiple
computers generating traffic
* Exclusive control of a port to prevent the OS from sending stray packets
provides a controlled testing environment
* Statistics Window shows real time port receive/transmit statistics and rates
* Capture packets and view them (needs Wireshark)
* Framework to add new protocol builders easily
