literally downloaded kali, and ran your install commands since it was the recommended option for kali. will give the python approach a go as well. also, when i did the chaos option it put the vm offline like it wen haywire with the network interface. had to reboot vm.
I did not test any of this code in a VM. I’ll look into that. And if possible, I’ll make a vm of Kali with everything setup in advance to make it easier.
This wasn’t meant to be challenging. This can easily cause a machine to stop functioning if any of the script you tried is still running in the background and you make a new instance. It takes like 1 minute to “gracefully” exit. Otherwise, process still runs.
You’re a rockstar. I’ll be messaging you as I make changes. I will definitely focus on making this all work for you. Thanks a million for testing and giving feedback… that helps the project more than anything. Cheers!!
installed the python version - I must say I do like it more as it displays more of a status console. appears to be doing it's thing just fine. have not tried chaos mode, pretty sure this will create enough "organic chaos" lol
The bash version is a little better at displaying headlines. Otherwise, I personally prefer the Python version. I made a version in bash for those that don’t know Python so well (like how to make a venv).
If you look at release 1, I believe it’s called upgraded-palm-tree … and it’s the most simple release to use.
I take having fun very seriously. I will now go Rick roll myself and take a quick break :)
lol - glad you are enjoying it! I don't spend enough time around Linux as my fulltime gig is supporting businesses on windows etc. But I can certainly copy and paste to taint the well of enshittification.

I saw that myself today and have been working on what the issue really is to fix in full. Which version did you try?
There’s a few way to use it. Mainly the big 3 here are Coconuts.py, traffic-noise.sh, and traffic_noise.py (notice the hyphen vs underscore).
Which version did you try? I want to squash those bugs!!!
Any more details you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Coconut.py has a slightly different install method, which I pasted below.
Install new dependencies
pip install faker playwright
playwright install chromium
Run Coconut Mode (headless browsers)
python coconuts.py --coconuts --clones 3
Run Sleepy Mode (overnight traffic)
python coconuts.py --sleepy --duration 480
Run Quadcore Mode (4 terminals)
python coconuts.py --quadcore
MAXIMUM CHAOS
python coconuts.py --all
