massdhclient, a tool for simulating thousands of DHCP clients (github.com) 1 points by camtarn 1y ago ↗ HN
[–] camtarn 1y ago ↗ I didn't write this - just found it while troubleshooting DHCP issues and thought other folks might find it useful :) [–] Chihuahua0633 1y ago ↗ At a glance, it reminded me of a windows app I had found for DHCP testing too - https://github.com/CyberShadow/dhcptestI just remember there being several different switches this program supported that aren't really documented well. [–] camtarn 1y ago ↗ I think the one you linked only simulates a single client, if I read it right?This one will simulate thousands of clients with different MAC addresses, allowing for DHCP infrastructure stress testing.
