DDos Application

**rollotamazzi** · February 20th, 2006, 01:01 PM

Hi guys, this is a bit of a strange request but i'm wondering if anyone could direct me to a download link for a program that is capable of conducting a denial of service attack. Preferrably something that will run on a windows based machine.

I am putting together an esay on securing servers and i need to include a practical example of an attack on a server. I know i would require many machines to conduct a DDos attack but i just need to simulate the attack more than actually carry one out.

I have a network of 4 pc's at home, one is a sever running Ubuntu another is a Smoothwall Nat and both others are XP machines.

I have been recommended programs such as Trinoo and Smurf but i have been unable to locate them for download on the net. If someone knows of a link to a download site for these applications could you please pm me or reply.

Thanks

this is probably one of the best, most comprehensive list of free and pay based network security tools. if you can't find what you're looking for there, you probably won't find it.

as far as i know the reason you can't find smurf or trinoo is because their impliments have been rendered almost obsolete as patches in most operating system's TCP/IP stack as well as router software negates a great deal of the effects of the ddos, so much so that you might have to build some older, unpatched machines to effectively carry out the attack. this may not be the case with newer versions of these tools, but i am pretty sure the original impliments are no longer as threatening as they once were. you may need to find a plain old UDP flooder.

might wanna try this:

the funny thing about all of this is that all of these things have legitimate uses, and in fact have more legitimate uses than "grey" or "black" uses. the NT toolkit put out by MS is probably the most useful "hack" kit for NT systems, though it was never intended to be.

Are you sure your writing an essay on DOS attacks and want to simulate one on your own network?

If so how were you going to show this simulation to the people marking your paper?

Even if this for a demostration or your own knowledge we dont condone this here. There are a billion other forums that allow this and a simple google search will direct you to plenty of programs to create a DDos attack.
