Description

Flamethrower is a new DNS performance and functional testing utility. Originally envisioned as an “improved dnsperf” and allowing simulation of realistic looking traffic patterns it has become a versatile tool for DNS server development and load testing. We will discuss motivations for its existence, its features, technical architecture, and use cases.

The tool has been developed at NS1, has been open-sourced in January 2019, and currently lives on DNS-OARC's GitHub.
