Simple tool to generate synthetic PCAP data for testing purposes
In its current incarnation, this tool doesn't generate particularly interesting packets/traffic, but it does allow you to generated a reasonably high volume of packets in case you are trying to load/stress test your abiity to handle packet volume/parsing rates.
It generates completely random MAC addresses and IP addresses. Any similarities between the addresses generated and real-life are completely conincidental.
Reads in a pcap and produces a new pcap with similar properties execpt that:
- MAC addresses have been randomized
- IP addresses have been randomized
- All data in requests (L5+) is randomized
- Optionally shift date/timestamps
-
Allow the user to specify a value, in seconds, to shift the entire set of packets. This value can be either positive or negative
-
allow the user to specify a string representation of a date (DEFINE) that the application will convert to/compare against the packet and build its own
