Hi Thor, I think tools like that are always a great addition to a development/test toolkit. Due to similar requirements I wrote something similar in Python with a GUI (as a means to improve my Python knowledge) to assist me in doing some "pseudo realistic" load testing of our server. It reads in packets to be sent from a file and sends them as fast as it can. I like the scenario idea though. I've still got a few bugs to sort out though, and its not really ready for distribution.
Interesting that you chose to use radclient to send the packets, rather than one of the Perl Radius modules available from CPAN. I've written a couple of perl scripts for testing purposes (one of them trickles accounting packets into our radius server to test our accounting/billing system. It randomly starts new sessions, which it then keeps track of. It sends periodic "alive" packets with the input/output octets and session times incremented accordingly, and randomly stops open sessions). I used Authen::Radius, which seems to be pretty good. It read the freeRADIUS dictionaries no problems, supports vendor specific attributes, etc, etc. Great thing about using the Perl modules is that it then platform independent, so I can test from any client that I want without having to have freeRADIUS compiled for that client. Keep up the good work!
