NAME

6       swamp - SSL/TLS load-tester based on OpenSSL
7

SYNOPSIS

9       swamp -connect <address> [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       swamp is a utility that can be used to test and/or benchmark SSL/TLS
13       servers. It is quite configurable and allows for various different
14       characteristics of the server's behaviour to be tested.
15

OPTIONS

17       -connect address
18           Configures the address to which swamp should connect for outgoing
19           connections, using the syntax defined by the libnal API. For con‐
20           necting to TCP/IP addresses, the syntax is illustrated below (you
21           may use an explicit IP address or a host name);
22
23               # swamp -connect IP:192.168.0.1:443
24               # swamp -connect IP:www.localnet:443
25
26           To connect to an SSL/TLS server on a unix domain socket, the syntax
27           is;
28
29               # swamp -connect UNIX:/path/to/some/socket
30
31       -h, -help, -?
32           Any of these flags will cause swamp to display a brief usage sum‐
33           mary to the console and exit cleanly. Any other flags are ignored.

AUTHOR

52       Swamp was designed and implemented by Geoff Thorpe. Steve Robb has con‐
53       tributed numerous tweaks and fixes along the way too. To consolidate
54       resources and provide an improved framework for ongoing development,
55       the swamp utility was made a component of the distcache project in 2003
56       (swamp happens to be the ideal tool for testing distcache's most common
57       usage - secure web servers).
