## What it is
A Go-based command-line HTTP benchmark tool that floods a target URL with concurrent requests to test server bandwidth and performance. It supports random User-Agents, custom headers, referers, POST bodies, multiple target IPs, and randomized X-Forwarded-For/X-Real-IP headers.

## Use cases
- load test my web server bandwidth
- benchmark a website with concurrent http requests
- stress test server with custom headers
- test website performance from command line
- send concurrent requests to multiple target ips
- measure how much traffic my server can handle

## When to choose
- you need a simple, single-binary CLI to saturate server bandwidth with configurable concurrency
- you want randomized headers, User-Agents, and X-Forwarded-For per request
- you need to target specific IPs behind a domain

## When to avoid
- you need detailed latency percentiles and metrics reporting (use hey, wrk, or k6 instead)
- you want a GUI or distributed load testing
- you cannot legally authorize testing against the target server - misuse may be illegal

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: load-testing, http-client, benchmarking
- domain: web-development, performance, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, go
- tags: http-benchmark, stress-testing, bandwidth-testing, concurrent-requests, command-line, linux, macos
