Is there software for stress testing a web server?

Question

stress testing

Good afternoon. Tell me, is there any software that can be fed a list of proxies so that it pulls the necessary web server through them in several threads? A kind of stress test. In principle, I see the implementation in PHP, but maybe there is already something ready?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Never do this through a proxy. The stress test is not based on the number of IPs, but on the number of packets. The maximum number of packets that can pass through your channel to the server through the proxy will be less, i.e. the efficiency will be less. Since any service information is required to route packets through a proxy. So don't worry and use your channel to the fullest against the server. But for modern servers - the exhaust that you can give is nothing. If there is a server with a gigabit channel - please, otherwise order DDoS from ddosers who have these servers, or botnets.
PS "Habraeffect" in tags - zashib. Post a thread on Habré and you'll get a stress test :DD
