pen-testing tool
- by default uses proxies of all possible countries
- built-in support of tor exit nodes (refer to the
use-torflag) - low CPU usage
- supports a large number of platforms
- automatic target updates from ITArmy UA
Warning Make sure to use VPN with
--use-my-ipoption
Warning Do not mix VPN with proxy, as it may yield poor performance
Warning To make it run in background use
screenortmuxutilities
During testing, I've found the following configurations to give max performance in a decreasing order:
--use-my-ip 100- or using x100 tool- `` -- no params, proxy mode
--use-tor 50- mix of tor and proxies
-
trickle -d 3000 -u 6000 ./distress -- linux only
use calculator to convert from KB to Mbit (or use as quick ref 1000KB == 1MB == 8Mbit)
it is nice to use download rate as a half of upload rate

wondershaper -- macos | linux
- Linux TCP stack

Note X100+Distress is best to use on VPS servers, as it reduces significantly the probability of a ban.
Distress is integrated in x100 tool, you can read the full documentation on how to set up and run here.

./distress_x86_64-apple-darwinNote it is preferred to install Linux version via WSL as it is more stable and gives better performance
download and run the latest binary
