Verdun

Verdun is a simple and fast HTTP stress-test/benchmark tool written in Rust. 🦀

It can test a single URL, load multiple URLs from a file or automatically discover urls on a page and tests them.

It also supports using random arguments in the URL and HEADER values by using %RAND(min,max)% with --random-arguments flag.
