L7 Proxy Test Suite

A Python 3 tool for testing Layer-7 (HTTP/HTTPS) traffic through a Squid residential proxy at 10.0.10.118:3128.

---

Requirements

• Python 3.7+ (no third-party packages — stdlib only)
• A running Squid proxy at 10.0.10.118:3128

---

Usage

python3 l7_proxy_tester.py

The script is fully interactive — no flags or command-line arguments needed.

1. Enter target URL — e.g. https://example.com or http://10.0.0.1
2. Proxy reachability check runs automatically
3. Select attack vector from the numbered menu
4. For flood modes, enter your concurrent connections, target RPS, and duration

Modes

1 — Diagnostic

Runs 10 sequential probe tests against the target:

#	Test
1	Proxy TCP reachability
2	Egress IP leak check
3	HTTP GET
4	HTTP HEAD (security headers)
5	HTTP OPTIONS (CORS/allowed methods)
6	Redirect chain tracing
7	DNS resolution
8	TLS/SSL certificate info
9	HTTP POST
10	Latency benchmark (10× samples, min/avg/max/jitter)

2–8 — Single-Method Flood

Sends continuous requests using one HTTP method for a set duration.

Prompted parameters:

Parameter	Default	Description
Concurrent connections	50	Number of parallel worker threads
Target RPS	100	Requests per second to aim for
Duration (seconds)	30	How long to run the flood

Live progress bar shows elapsed time, success/fail counts, and actual RPS.

Summary includes total sent, throughput, and latency percentiles (avg / p50 / p90 / p99).

9 — Multi-Vector Flood ⚡

Fires all 7 HTTP methods simultaneously (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS), each in its own thread pool.

• Your worker and RPS values are split evenly across the 7 vectors
• Each vector prints its own summary
• A combined aggregate table is printed at the end:

  Method       Sent      2xx     Fail      RPS
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────
  DELETE        142      142        0     14.2
  GET           143      143        0     14.3
  HEAD          144      143        1     14.4
  OPTIONS       141      141        0     14.1
  PATCH         142      138        4     14.2
  POST          143      143        0     14.3
  PUT           142      142        0     14.2

Proxy Configuration

Edit the constants at the top of l7_proxy_tester.py to change the proxy:

PROXY_HOST = "10.0.10.118"
PROXY_PORT = 3128

All traffic (HTTP and HTTPS) is routed through this proxy. TLS certificate verification is disabled for lab use.
