Greetings Experts,<br />
<br />
I am looking at doing a demo of one or more content filtering appliances. &nbsp;However, in order to alleviate any legalities or sensitivities with using actual Internet traffic data from production usage, I'd like to use some &quot;dummy data&quot; to show the different features.<br />
<br />
So, my question is this. &nbsp;If I put this appliance on it's own interface, isolated from any production networks, is there anything out there that I can put behind the content filter to just sit there and generate Internet usage and traffic logs? &nbsp;It doesn't have to be anything specific, just something that will randomly visit different URL's; preferably using multiple protocols (http, https, DNS, etc) and services.<br />
<br />
I'm also open to purchasing some dummy data and importing it as well, but the Google machine hasn't shown me anywhere that exists.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

Greetings Experts,

I am looking at doing a demo of one or more content filtering appliances.  However, in order to alleviate any legalities or sensitivities with using actual Internet traffic data from production usage, I'd like to use some "dummy data" to show the different features.

Create Sample Internet Traffic

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Internet / Email Software

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Content management (CM) is a set of processes and technologies that supports the collection, managing, and publishing of information in any form or medium. When stored and accessed via computers, this information may be more specifically referred to as digital content, or simply as content. Digital content may take the form of text (such as electronic documents), multimedia files (such as audio or video files), or any other file type that follows a content lifecycle requiring management.
