flightsim is a lightweight Go CLI utility that safely generates malicious network traffic patterns such as DNS tunneling, DGA domains, C2 callbacks, and SSH exfiltration. Security teams use it to evaluate firewalls, network visibility, and intrusion detection controls.

Use cases

• test whether my IDS detects C2 traffic
• simulate DNS tunneling to validate monitoring
• generate DGA traffic for security control testing
• verify firewall detects malicious traffic patterns
• test network visibility against simulated exfiltration
• validate security monitoring with safe malicious traffic

When to choose

• you need to safely test security controls with realistic malicious traffic
• validating IDS/IPS, firewall, or SIEM detection coverage
• red team or security assessment traffic generation

When to avoid

• you need a full penetration testing framework
• you want passive network monitoring rather than active traffic generation
• you cannot allow outbound internet access from the test host
