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.
It is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) open-source software license, which means it is free to use, modify, and distribute. [2] Siege can stress a single URL or it can read many URLs into memory and stress them simultaneously. It supports basic authentication, cookies, HTTP, HTTPS and FTP protocols. [3]
High Orbit Ion Cannon (HOIC) is an open-source network stress testing and denial-of-service attack application designed to attack as many as 256 URLs at the same time. It was designed to replace the Low Orbit Ion Cannon which was developed by Praetox Technologies and later released into the public domain.
Stacheldraht (German for "barbed wire") is malware which performs a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. It was written by "Thomas Stacheldraht", a member of the Austrian hacker group TESO . It was first released in 1999.
Stress testing is a software testing activity that determines the robustness of software by testing beyond the limits of normal operation. Stress testing is particularly important for " mission critical " software, but is used for all types of software.
LoadRunner is a software testing tool from OpenText.It is used to test applications, measuring system behavior and performance under load.. LoadRunner can simulate millions of users concurrently using application software, recording and later analyzing the performance of key components of the application whilst under load.
Super PI is popular in the overclocking community, both as a benchmark to test the performance of these systems [1] [2] and as a stress test to check that they are still functioning correctly. [ 3 ] Credibility concerns
A stress test (sometimes called a torture test) of hardware is a form of deliberately intense and thorough testing used to determine the stability of a given system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity , often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.
