BrickHauler

A tool designed for fast and easy load testing of websites and web applications.

Params

Parameters accepted by the command line:

• --verb (string): Specifies the HTTP verb to be used (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, etc.).
• --uri (string): The URL where the tests will be performed (e.g., https://example.com).
• --concurrent (int): The number of virtual users to launch requests concurrently.
• --request (int): The total number of requests to be sent by all users.
• --cookie (string): Cookie to be included in the requests (format: cookieName=cookieValue).
• --proxy (string): Url to the proxy that is going to take all the request.
• --feed (bool): Display real-time logs of the test.

Usage

Here's the example you're probably looking for to understand how this tool works:

go run . --uri https://example.com --concurrent 2 --request 4 --feed

Do you want to use another http verb?

go run . --verb POST --uri https://example.com --concurrent 2 --request 4 --feed

Need to add a cookie? Here's how:

go run . --uri https://example.com --concurrent 2 --request 4 --cookie "foo=bar" --feed

Need to add multiple cookies? It's just as simple:

go run . --uri https://example.com --concurrent 2 --request 4 --cookie "foo=bar" --cookie "root=toor" --feed

Maybe you need a proxy:

go run . --uri https://example.com --concurrent 2 --request 4 --proxy "http://43.123.54.1:8080/" --feed

Features

• Ability to choose the HTTP method for making requests.

• Simulation of virtual users acting independently, capable of making concurrent requests.

• Option to add cookies to the requests.

• Use proxies for doing all the requests.
