Well, I think that functionality should be built into Nmap allowing it to be utilized for network stress testing upon demand. I mean its a great network tool and you can already do many cool things with it, but if network stress testing such as SYN/UDP Flooding capabilities are built it, it would make the ULTIMATE network tool. Netcat's already integrated, so why not a tool called Nflood? On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 7:24 AM, Professor 0110 <professor0110 () gmail com>wrote:
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there was anyway that I could utilize Nmap as a Network Stress Testing tool, or a tool which enables me to get a rough idea of how my network and firewalls will be able withstand a DoS attack (SYN Flood and UDP Flood). What sparked this idea was the fact that Decoy scanning can cause a SYN Flood if the decoy targets are not available. But since this TCP/IP Flaw was fixed over a decade ago, it is hardly useful anymore. Cheers, Professor 0110
