dperf: High-Performance Network Load Testing Tool Based on DPDK
A Swiss army knife for your daily Linux network plumbing.
Edit and replay captured network traffic at arbitrary speeds — a suite of pcap tools for *NIX and Windows.
pentest framework
MoonGen is a fully scriptable high-speed packet generator built on DPDK and LuaJIT. It can saturate a 10 Gbit/s connection with 64 byte packets on a single CPU core while executing user-provided Lua scripts for each packet. Multi-core support allows for even higher rates. It also features precise and accurate timestamping and rate control.

A command-line network packet crafting and injection utility
Package xdp allows one to use XDP sockets from the Go programming language.
Packet monster (っ‘-’)╮=͟͟͞͞◒ ヽ( '-'ヽ) TUI tool for sending packets of arbitrary input and monitoring packets on any network interfaces (default: eth0). Windows/macOS/Linux
Replay UDP packets from a pcap file
Linux CLI Ethernet and MPLS Testing Tool
Cross-platform network packet crafting, sending & capturing — Rust + Tauri, type-safe protocol builders with real checksums.
Hyenae NG is an advanced cross-platform network packet generator and the successor of Hyenae. It features full network layer spoofing, pattern based address randomization and flood detection breaking mechanisms.
An application that utilizes fast AF_XDP Linux sockets to generate and send network packets. Used for penetration testing including Denial of Service (DoS) and network monitoring. Made by @gamemann!
