Traffic Generator

The traffic generator is an Azure VM that produces attack traffic, reconnaissance scans, and bot simulation against F5 Distributed Cloud HTTP load balancers. It validates that WAF policies, Bot Defense, API Security, and Client-Side Defense are correctly configured.

F5 XC Features Validated

• Web Application Firewall — SQL injection, XSS, command injection, path traversal payloads
• Bot Defense — headless browser automation, credential stuffing, rapid crawling
• API Security — OWASP API Top 10 attacks, GraphQL abuse, parameter fuzzing
• Client-Side Defense — Magecart-style skimmer injection, DOM manipulation
