DDoS Attacks have become a daily annoyance for many, and we need to create robust infrastructure. This tutorial will go through a proposed method for testing your own infrastructure using off-the-shelf tools like packet generators hping3 and t50 on Kali Linux.

The goal for the tutorial is to explain:

• How to create DDoS attack simulations
• My actual experience with doing this - testing banks, etc.
• Evaluate how good is this, value proposition for you

The content will include:

• Running packet generators with example commands hping3 and t50
• Monitoring availability while doing DDoS attacks
• Comparing this with real life attacks
• Results from doing attacks on real life customer networks, mostly banks in or around Denmark
• My recommendations for a holistic approach to DDoS protection in your networks

There won’t be any exercises, but I recommend trying to install Kali Linux on a Virtual Machine to get familiar with this Linux distribution.

I will be doing demos showing how I run commands and monitor a DDoS simulation.
