Raspberry Pi : Web Site Traffic Generator Python Bot

source : https://github.com/ecapuano/web-traffic-generator

Python Code running on Raspberry Pi or any other device and OS you have, 

Pi is low powered and will run for much less power. 

What it is > A noise generator to use for an Incident Response / Network Defense simulation. The only issue is that my simulation environment uses multiple IDS/IPS/NGFW devices that will not pass and log simple TCPreplays of canned traffic. I needed the traffic to be as organic as possible, essentially mimicking real users browsing the web.

Usage : Great to test out your web server, test out network traffic, run multiple threads for load testing etc.
