Web Application Stress Tools

[Chris Burton <cyberhiker99 () yahoo com>]

Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone knew of an application
that I could use to stress a box.  I was going to
write my own with Netcat sending custom GETs and
timing the response and doing this across several
computers.  Let me know if anyone has something better
for free and is easy to use.
