DescriptionSimple web traffic generator useful for populating firewall logs, testing firewall policy, etc. I work as a senior systems engineer for
Fortinet, a leading global cybersecurity company, and wrote this mainly for web traffic generation in lab and proof-of-concept scenarios. Another use is testing of Fortinet's
FortiSASE product.
Features- It also works on Linux (under WINE) with one caveat in that it doesn't save column widths. Workaround: Choose one of the auto-size column options from the View menu.
- URL lists are simple text files found in the {appdir}/lists folder. You can create and manage URL lists within the application or externally via your own text editor. Use the buttons on the main interface or right-click the URL list.
- Choose File > Generate sample URL list to get you started.
- On the main interface, you can tick the Repeat checkbox and the app will repeat the URL list until you stop it manually.
- Options are under View > Options:
- Follow redirects does what it says. Any 301/302 redirects will be followed.
- Verify HTTPS certificate works like a FortiGate's SSL certificate inspection feature. Can be useful when needed.
- Ensure tested row is visible will scroll the listview as it's going through URLs.
- Request timeout (secs): Timeout, in seconds, for each attempt at getting the URL. Since sSurfer is currently single-threaded, leave this number fairly low.
- Proxy is supported and I've tested it successfully with the FortiSASE SWG feature. Go to View > Options to set your credentials. You easily can toggle proxy on and off from the main interface with the F6 key.
