Systems and methods for testing denial of service attacks

摘要

A system (130) for monitoring a denial of service attack upon a target network resource includes a memory (210) and a processor (205). The memory (210) stores instructions. The processor (205) executes the instructions in the memory (210) to receive one of a plurality of denial of service attack profiles, each profile identifying the target network resource and to execute a denial of service attack against the target network resource in accordance with the received profile. The processor (205) further executes the instructions in the memory (210) to scan one or more ports of the target network resource to determine an effect of the executed denial of service attack.

1. A computerized method of monitoring, for a user, a dental of service attack upon a target network resource, the method comprising:
providing said user with a first option to make a selection, via a computer, between a straight and a random ordering of packets, said random ordering generated by said computer, said packets selected from the group of packets consisting of TCP packets, WIMP packets, UDP packets, RIP packets and BGP packets, said selected packets used to achieve packet flooding of said target network resource in said attack; providing said user with a second option for selecting other packet randomization on and performed by said computer, said other packet randomization including a randomization option selected from the group of randomization options consisting of packet source address field randomization option, packet source port number randomization option, packet destination port number randomization option and packet payload size randomization option, and applying said selected randomization option to applicable said selected packets; executing said denial of service attack against the target network resource in accordance with the selected ordering of said packets and said selected randomization option; monitoring one or more ports of the target network resource to determine, for the user, an effect of the executed denial of service attack; and displaying for the user the effect of the executed denial of service attack.
