With the help of this tool you can automatically generate high volumes of UDP packets to evaluate the overall network performance, resilience and security.
UDP Unicorn
UDP Unicorn is a Windows utility oriented toward system administrators, cybersecurity specialists and other IT professionals. It allows users to diagnose and analyze the behavior of any network under stress by flooding the connection with massive amounts of data.
Test parameters
Similar to Packet Sender, the main window contains an input field for specifying the target IP address. There is a drop down menu to select the desired communication port as well. Moreover, you can change the default packet size according to project requirements.
Users are able to adjust the delay and allocate extra CPU threats to the task, significantly increasing the amount of test data packets. This functionality is particularly beneficial when evaluating the protection of large networks with multiple fallback servers.
Additional instruments
There is an option to scan the local environment and identify all listening ports, which is important for preventing external online attacks. Furthermore, you can view the list of all active connections. Detailed information about the network is available as well, including:
- Local hostname;
- MAC address;
- Public IP and more.
Features
- free to download and use;
- designed for simulating DDoS attacks to test network stability and protection;
- automatically sends massive amounts of data packets to the predefined IP address;
- you can tweak advanced test settings to match personal preferences;
- compatible with all modern versions of Windows.
