I might be misunderstanding what you consider one, but in my experience a bash script driving curl is great for some types of API or front-end load testing. However, it won't necessarily help you know how your system will behave if S3 kicks the bucket in us-east-1 (again), your image host for that super-cool Kubernetes cluster suddenly throttles you during a critical restart, or your other service of choice went down due to an expired certificate. If you however mean to use it to perform a denial of service on an endpoint you don't own, you're more hard-core than I thought.
