| Tool Name | Primary Use | Platform | Ethical Context | |-----------|-------------|----------|----------------| | | Basic DoS simulation (TCP/UDP/HTTP) | Windows | Legacy learning; best in isolated VMs. Often used by hacktivists—handle with extreme caution. | | HOIC (High Orbit Ion Cannon) | Enhanced DoS with multiple targets | Windows | Similar to LOIC but more powerful. For authorized stress tests only. | | Slowloris | Application-layer DoS (keeps connections open) | Cross-platform (Perl/Python) | Tests web server timeouts and concurrency limits. Highly effective on Apache 1.x/2.x. | | Hping3 | Crafting custom packets (SYN flood, ICMP flood) | Linux (Kali, Parrot) | Professional tool for firewall testing and DoS simulation. Must be used responsibly. | | GoldenEye | HTTP DoS testing tool | Python-based | Simulates multiple user behaviors (keep-alive, cache bypass). Ideal for lab testing. | | Metasploit (auxiliary modules) | DoS auxiliary modules (e.g., SYN, TCP, UDP floods) | Cross-platform | Part of a full pentesting suite. Use auxiliary/dos/tcp/syn_flood in authorized labs. | Introduction Downloading and running DoS tools on any
