Stigix generates realistic SaaS and application traffic, runs security policy tests, measures failover convergence, simulates voice and IoT devices, and orchestrates VyOS network impairments — in labs, demos, and POC environments.
"I built this after years of writing one-off scripts for SD-WAN POCs and never finding a single lab platform that matched what I see in the field."
The pattern was always the same: a new POC, a new set of one-off scripts to simulate SaaS traffic, test URL filtering, or measure failover convergence. Nothing reusable. Nothing that handled both the traffic side and the security validation side in the same tool.
Stigix was built to change that — a single platform for generating realistic application traffic, running security policy tests, simulating voice and IoT devices, measuring SD-WAN convergence time, and giving you a real-time view of what's happening across the network.
Problems it solves
auth login, status, traffic control, and exec mode. Session saved locally for reconnect. Command history persisted to a local JSON file for scripting and audit. Tab-completion for saved profiles. Launch with docker exec -it stigix stigix-cli.Generate weighted SaaS traffic across specific interfaces and verify that application steering rules behave as intended. Confirm that video, voice, and critical SaaS flows follow the expected path based on policy — before and after configuration changes.
Validate URL filtering categories, DNS security, and IPS policies against real test destinations. Run scheduled security test cycles and capture results persistently. Confirm that blocking and alerting rules fire correctly before go-live or after a policy change.
Build repeatable, visually compelling demo environments for customer presentations and partner enablement sessions. Live traffic generation, real-time security results, and VPN topology overlays provide an authentic view without requiring access to a production environment.
Measure exact tunnel transition times during link failure or SD-WAN path change events. Use VyOS network impairment orchestration to induce failures on demand and capture convergence timing with high-precision UDP probes at up to 1000 PPS.
Quickly generate the specific type of traffic needed to reproduce a QoS issue, a policy misclassification, or a failover anomaly. Use real-time logs, statistics, and live topology data to correlate what the platform generates with what the network is actually doing.
Simulate realistic IoT device presence at Layer 2/3 and validate that DHCP profiling, micro-segmentation, and traffic classification work correctly. Test QoS policy prioritization for voice traffic using Scapy-based RTP packet simulation with MOS score estimation.
Simulate DLP exfiltration, Prompt Injection, exploit attempts, and EICAR uploads against live AI platforms (ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Perplexity). Validate that AI Security policies detect and block sensitive data leaving through AI chat interfaces — a rapidly growing attack vector in enterprise environments.
Docker must be installed and running. No other dependencies required.
Stigix ships a fully interactive terminal console inside the container — no external tooling required.
