If you have been doing pen testing for any real length of time your already on watch lists. However dos and ddos 
testing isn't part of a pen test because you can always take something offline with enough traffic.

There's a Java version of LOIC.

You might want to DL through a proxy , and doing so might still get you 
on a watchlist. ;-)

Also, the SourceForge page for JavaLOIC has disappeared.  There are 
links to different archives on the 'net.  Proceed with caution (sandbox, 
etc.)

hi guys,

Appreciated a lot with the feedback. I have tested HOIC and LOIC, they
are both windows, so might not that suitable for my pentest
environment, as I'm using a datacenter linux server as the attacker to
dos my webserver.

We are still testing Slowloris and RUDY.  Siege so far able to trigger
more concurrent connection to the victim with 1000+, which ab maximum
connection is only around 100+. After those threshold, we will be
getting error from the attacker. We are using a Centos 5.5 for the
attacker.

Hi guys,

We are testing the dos protection mechanism of our web server, and
we're using 'apache benchmark', ab for that purpose (httpd version is
2.2.3 in Centos 5) from the pentest machine. But it is not able to go
to a higher concurrent hits, so I'm wonder do you have any better or
more comprehensive tools out there that you think is better ?

Thanks for any input given.

Regards,
Lye
