has the capability of performing scripted HTTP and HTTPS heavy load

        A DOS attack.... I'm trying to test a new product we just
purchased. It's a Packeteer which will recognize and deal with unusal
traffic flow and bandwidth problems. We experienced several internal DOS
attacks from internal hosts caused by bots. I've configured the
Packeteer but haven't found a way to test the device. I have it set up
on a private  vlan with just the nessus server/client, the Packeteer and
a test host. But running the normal scan with DOS enabled doesn't
generate much traffic. How do I crank it up to really eat up the
bandwidth and emulate an attack. No animals will be used in this
experiment and it is safe for childrens consumption as required by the
FDA. Appreciate any help as I just downloaded this software and am a
newbie.
