sSurfer

Description:  Simple web traffic generator useful for populating firewall logs, testing firewall policy, etc. I work as a senior systems engineer for Fortinet, a leading global cybersecurity company, and wrote this mainly for web traffic generation in lab and proof-of-concept scenarios. Another use is testing of Fortinet's FortiSASE product.

Notes:

  1. Tested on Windows 10/11 64-bit. Probably works, but not tested, on Windows Vista/7/8.
  2. It also works on Linux (under WINE) with one caveat in that it doesn't save column widths. Workaround: Choose one of the auto-size column options from the View menu.
  3. URL lists are simple text files found in the {appdir}/lists folder. You can create and manage URL lists within the application or externally via your own text editor. Use the buttons on the main interface or right-click the URL list.
  4. Choose File > Generate sample URL list to get you started.
  5. On the main interface, you can tick the Repeat checkbox and the app will repeat the URL list until you stop it manually.
  6. Options are under View > Options:
    • Follow redirects does what it says. Any 301/302 redirects will be followed.
    • Verify HTTPS certificate works like a FortiGate's SSL certificate inspection feature. Can be useful when needed.
    • Ensure tested row is visible will scroll the listview as it's going through URLs.
    • Request timeout (secs): Timeout, in seconds, for each attempt at getting the URL. Since sSurfer is currently single-threaded, leave this number fairly low.
    • Proxy is supported and I've tested it successfully with the FortiSASE SWG feature. Go to View > Options to set your credentials. You easily can toggle proxy on and off from the main interface with the F6 key.
