Why use Radius Test?
............................................................................................................................
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User
Service) is an Internet standard defined in RFC
2865. Internet service providers use RADIUS to
authenticate dial-in users. RADIUS was subsequently
extended to support accounting as defined in RFC
2866.
RADIUS
allows vendors to add attributes relevant to them as
part of aforementioned messages. This enables vendors
to essentially extend the RADIUS implementation
while allowing them to carry business critical
information in these messages - this is done via
vendor-specific-attributes (VSAs). VSAs, while offering
flexibility, preclude interoperability with standard
RADIUS servers. Also, there seems to be a general lack
of elegant tools to add VSAs.
To solve the interoperability due to VSAs, We implement
a GUI based extensible RADIUS testing tool. the GUI tool will offer
users the ability to add standard RADIUS attributes such as IP
address,port etc, and most importantly, the ability to add VSAs
of their choices. After simple parsing, these attributes including
VSAs will be encrypted using MD5,then sent to server throught
UDP port.

tool (for Windows), which allows you to test installations
of your RADIUS servers.
