Hello, I want to do a stress test of my Freeradius setup with EAP connections. radclient tool support arguments that allow to send many packets/request per second, but eapol_test tool does not support it. So to simulate may EAP connections/request per second I am starting many eapol_test processes in parallel. It kinda works, but I wonder if there is a better tool to do that. -- Vladimir

Not currently. That's what we do internally :) -Arran
just conjecture on my part, but perhaps you could write something in python using pyrad and threading module? sent from my toaster.

Yeah if you want to implement the EAP state machines from scratch. Pyrad gives you no help parsing or composing EAP packets. -Arran

I've used a python script to control multiple eapol_test processes through their control interface (i.e., run multiple EAP sessions through each process and add as many processes as you want to see parallel sessions). This seemed to work reasonably well and it should be straightforward to modify the example python script if you want more control on authentication rate, etc. https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/?id=8493fe34579415da546cde637c95da1cb979eb0... - Jouni

Neat! Thanks for that! -Arran Arran Cudbard-Bell <a.cudbardb@freeradius.org> FreeRADIUS Development Team FD31 3077 42EC 7FCD 32FE 5EE2 56CF 27F9 30A8 CAA2
