try on your machine

The command "vegeta attack -duration=${30s} -targets=${requests-txt} | vegeta report" is used with the Vegeta tool, which is an open-source HTTP load testing utility.

  • "vegeta attack" initiates the attack with the specified options.

    • "-duration=${30s}" sets the duration of the attack to 30 seconds. The variable "${30s}" represents a duration of 30 seconds.
    • "-targets=${requests-txt}" specifies the targets for the attack. The variable "${requests-txt}" represents a file containing the list of requests to be attacked.
  • "|" (pipe) is a Unix command that allows the output of one command to be used as the input for another command.

  • "vegeta report" generates a report based on the results of the attack.

In summary, this command initiates a 30-second attack using the targets specified in the "requests-txt" file and then generates a report based on the results of the attack.
