Hammerhead 2 is a stress testing tool designed to test out your web server
and web site. It can initiate multiple connections from IP aliases and
simulated numerous (256+) users at any given time. The rate at which
Hammerhead 2 attempts to pound your site is fully configurable, there are
numerous other options for trying to create problems with a web site (so you
can fix them). It can be used to test the behaviour of the port under load,
or the ability of the port to service a set of requests. Warning: Hammerhead
can destroy a web site very quickly. It should only be used to generate heavy
loads on local web sites for testing purposes.
