Announcing Blast - a small, quick TCP service stress test tool.


Blast does a good amount of work very quickly and can help spot potential weaknesses in your network servers.

Usage:
blast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port startsize endsize /t rcvtimeout /d senddelay /b beginmsg /e endmsg /noret

Examples:
blast 134.134.134.4 110 600 680 /t 7000 /d 300 /b user x 
blast 134.134.134.4 110 600 680 /t 7000 /d 300 /b user x /e endchars
blast 134.134.134.4 110 600 680 /noret


/t == timeout delay in milliseconds to wait for server response
/d == delay before each send
/noret means to send raw data with no newline chars that a pop server expects at end
/b is a way to add cust text to begin of buf
/e is an alternate way to end each buf


blast 134.134.134.4 110 20 25 /b "user ted" x /e endchars 
equals
"user tedNNNNendchars"

for a total of 20 chars w/ cust beg and end for the first send, it will stop when buf equals 25.
so, 5 sends.

Let me know, good, bad. etc 
more on the way......

Blast has been used this to reproduce some of the BO's posted in bugtraq and crash 1 of my own.

We hope you find this tool usefull in defending your networks.
Stay tuned for updates and new features.
