Ask HN: Fake Traffic Generator
I have become slightly obsessed with the bloomberg article, http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-click-fraud/
Can anyone point me to some php scripts / git / gist or pastebin that generates this traffic. I just built one in php, I'm getting the session cookie and the page downloaded, but not sure if it's counting as a hit?
I really should be working on other things, but creating a 100 twitbot army is what got me into programming in the first place.

- chad_strategic 11y agoI'm afraid not.
- ApolloRising 11y agoThis may be more helpful. AB is apache benchmark - you can read about it here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html Tutorial to use it here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-apachebench-to-do-load-testing-on-an-ubuntu-13-10-vps https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-... Do not use this on a shared server.
- csmattryder 11y agoThere's a few options with regards to benchmarking your server install, here's a good intro article[1] I found for this. To follow up with 0x400614's answer, you'll want to look at `ab` - ApacheBench.
