The Tribe Flood Network or TFN is a set of computer programs to conduct various DDoS attacks such as ICMP flood, SYN flood, UDP flood and Smurf attack. First TFN initiated attacks are described in CERT Incident Note 99-04. TFN2K was written by Mixter, a security professional and hacker based in Germany.
Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) is an open-source network stress testing and denial-of-service attack application written in C#.LOIC was initially developed by Praetox Technologies, however it was later released into the public domain [2] and is currently available on several open-source platforms.
BASHLITE is written in C, and designed to easily cross-compile to various computer architectures. [9]Exact capabilities differ between variants, but the most common features [9] generate several different types of DDoS attacks: it can hold open TCP connections, send a random string of junk characters to a TCP or a UDP port, or repeatedly send TCP packets with specified flags.
DDoS mitigation is a set of network management techniques and/or tools for resisting or mitigating the impact of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on networks attached to the Internet by protecting the target and relay networks.
A Smurf attack is a distributed denial-of-service attack in which large numbers of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets with the intended victim's spoofed source IP are broadcast to a computer network using an IP broadcast address. [1] Most devices on a network will, by default, respond to this by sending a reply to the source IP ...
During two intervals on November 30, 2015 and December 1, 2015, several of the root name servers received up to 5 million queries per second each, receiving valid queries for a single undisclosed domain name and then a different domain the next day. Source addresses were spread throughout IPv4 space, however these may have been spoofed.
In an HTTP flood, the HTTP clients such as web browser interact with an application or server to send HTTP requests. The request can be either “GET” or “POST”. The aim of the attack is when to compel the server to allocate as many resources as possible to serving the attack, thus denying legitimate users access to the server's resources.
The trinoo or trin00 is a set of computer programs to conduct a DDoS attack. It is believed that trinoo networks have been set up on thousands of systems on the Internet that have been compromised by remote buffer overrun exploits.
