To follow up with 0x400614's answer, you'll want to look at `ab` - ApacheBench.

have you heard of `ab`
I'm afraid not.
This may be more helpful. AB is apache benchmark - you can read about it here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html
Tutorial to use it here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-...
Do not use this on a shared server.

Can anyone point me to some php scripts / git / gist or pastebin that generates this traffic. I just built one in php, I'm getting the session cookie and the page downloaded, but not sure if it's counting as a hit?
I really should be working on other things, but creating a 100 twitbot army is what got me into programming in the first place.
