Milli

Traffic Generator using Alexa's top 1 Million Websites

Overview

This was my first GoLang project when I wanted to start playing with goroutines. When I wrote this in 2015, I needed to generate traffic to exercise a NetFlow collector with diverse destinations. Today I use Milli to generate web requests for creating Nanolog Streaming Service entries, which then feed into various SIEM facilities.
