Hi i suffer for a long time with unpredictable random crashes in production which can be bridge/netfilter/network and since it takes up to weeks sometimes for happen again unable to reprdocue it in a 1:1 testing environment i would like to use some standalone tool "send shit" to the nat/firewall/gateway device goal: trigger such crashes outside production, catch debug infos with kdump and/or serial console and write qualified bugreports -------------------- the testing environment consists of 3 virtual machines within a nested VMware ESXi: * firewall vm reflect production with different ranges * a mini VM connected to the LAN device with no physical backing listening on a complete /24 and a ton of socket-activated tcp/udp services * a mini-vm connected to the wan interface of the gateway device to bypass the host networking and play "internet" "mini" means really mini, so some c/c++ stuff compiled and statically linked for the destination system leading to a simple command "do whatever bad stuff to the network 172.17.0.0/24 until the kernel panics" would be much appreciated /dev/root ext4 5.8G 66.2M 5.7G 1% / /dev/sda1 ext4 189.9M 4.1M 185.8M 2% /boot
