DiscImageCreator VS toxiproxy

I can recommend https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator . It handles all kinds of weird formats and copy protections, and it's open source! You can use https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF as the frontend if you like.

DiscImageCreator for making a complete backup (if drive is supported, otherwise use Alcohol 120%), and MakeMKV for ripping the video files from the DVD or ISO image. WinCDEmu is useful for mounting and as an alternative for creating an ISO image.

Aaru and DiscImageCreator are the best tools available for proper preservation of weird copy protected discs. They may or may not support your drive properly, though.

Why not use DiscImageCreator? It's command line, open source, has among the best handling of copy protected discs (especially game discs), and also collects a bunch of other data about the disc that can potentially be useful for archival purposes (subchannel data, pressing offset information, etc.).

Try DiscImageCreator. It's a command line tool with lots of options including how many read retries to do, etc. There's also a GUI called MPF (Media Preservation Frontend) available.

It turns out to be also a very good way to test a networking library by implementing it. Since your stack needs to be able to basically handle most adverse events properly.

The idea behind 'chaos engineering' is cool.

I use this to simulate delays between various local services:

If you have Docker all you need is a few terminal commands

Idk about firewall level, but application level I’d recommend https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy

That's why I usually recommend anybody that develops network critical apps to test their app with something like toxiproxy and purposfully mess with their connections and simulate network issues.

We use this thing. https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy I am not sure that it supports windows, but you can install it to the Linux machine and route your application under the test to that proxy.

On the same vibes as https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy

https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy is a perfect solution for that. I used it quite successfully years ago and it looks like it's still pretty active.

Looking at the toxiproxy you mentioned, it seems like it should do what you want though? TLS is generally over TCP anyway, so it should still be able to throttle those connections - it just wont understand the encryption. I also saw a pull request for having it act as a TLS man-in-the-middle proxy: https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy/pull/270
