Description

Netloiter is a tool for testing network applications consisting of multiple nodes communicating with each other via IP protocol. The tool is based on the method of software implemented fault-injection (SWIFI) and supports different types of faults, attacks, and fault-injection scenarios manipulating IP packets. NetLoiter can simulate network faults like packet delays, loss of communication channel, various types of jitter, and attacks based on the man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks such as rerouting packets, payload change, or tailored attacks configured dynamically based on higher-level (application-specific) communication protocols. The tool can be applied to all kinds of applications communicating via IPv4 or IPv6 stack.
