Traffic Generator

Traffic Generator

This traffic generator includes:

  1. User interface with input fields for:
    • Target URL
    • Number of requests per interval
    • Interval duration in milliseconds
  2. Features:
    • Parallel request generation
    • CORS handling (using no-cors mode)
    • Cache-busting to ensure unique requests
    • Real-time logging system
    • Start/Stop controls
    • Active process tracking
  3. Safety measures:
    • Input validation
    • Clean error handling
    • Process cleanup
    • UI state management

Important notes:

  1. Due to browser security restrictions (CORS policy), this will only work fully with:
    • Websites that have appropriate CORS headers
    • Same-origin requests
    • Websites that don’t block cross-origin requests
  2. The actual traffic generation capacity is limited by:
    • Browser limitations on parallel requests
    • User’s network connection
    • Target server capacity
  3. This should only be used for ethical purposes:
    • Load testing your own servers
    • Educational purposes
    • Never use this to attack or overload third-party services

To use:

  1. Save as an HTML file
  2. Open in a modern web browser
  3. Enter target URL (must be CORS-enabled for full functionality)
  4. Set desired requests/interval
  5. Click “Start Traffic”

The logging system will show successful requests in green and errors in red.

JavaScript will handle the traffic generation. When start is clicked, it reads the parameters, validates them, then sets up a loop using setInterval. Each interval, send multiple requests. But since JavaScript is single-threaded, using async functions might help. However, actual fetch requests might not work due to CORS, so maybe creating image elements or iframes to simulate requests without waiting for a response.

Also, need to track active processes to stop them when the stop button is pressed. Maybe an array of intervals or a flag to clear them.

Logging each attempt with timestamps. Use a helper function to add entries to the log div, with colors for success and error.

Potential issues: CORS blocking fetch requests, so relying on methods that don’t require CORS, like images or iframes. But those might not actually send a request unless the URL points to a real resource. The user might need to use a URL that allows CORS, or the generator might just simulate the requests without actual network traffic.

Testing the code in a browser to ensure it doesn’t crash. Handling edge cases, like invalid numbers, negative intervals, etc. Disabling the start button when running and enabling it after stopping.

Putting it all together in one HTML file, embedding CSS and JavaScript. Making sure the code is clean and well-commented for clarity.
