SMBTA Stresstest 0.0.2 released, built with SMB Traffic Analyzer 1.2.2
SMBTA Stresstest 0.0.2 is available in SUSE Studio, an appliance made for testing the SMB Traffic Analyzer software suite. A side effect of being a test is that SMBTA Stresstest can easily be used by people interested in trying SMB Traffic Analyzer.
Since version 0.0.1 of SMBTA Stresstest, a new release of SMB Traffic Analyzer brought changes that are affecting the testing appliance. Actually, SMBTA Stresstest includes a patched version of smbtatools with changes that did not made it into the 1.2.2 release. SMBTA Stresstest now creates directories and human readable filenames which should make it much easier to interpret the results of a machine generated traffic scenario. 
- there is now smbtatorturesrv, a small server application distributing unique filenames and paths to several smbtatorture processes on the net
- now six users are running the smbtatorture application, creating more diverse traffic (compared to 2 users in the former release) and are employing the smbtatorturesrv process.
- now three shares are being used while in operation, compared to 2 in the former release.
SMBTA Stresstest is maintaining an open port 3491 to allow queries from the smbtatools programs.
You can download SMBTA Stresstest from the SUSE Studio Gallery. For more information on SMB Traffic Analyzer, visit it’s homepage.
