I'm probably dead wrong on this, but I thought the DOS attacks in Nessus
had to do with actually taking the service in question down; not so much
network related activity as actually making the service go away.

A DOS attackâ. Iâm trying to test a new product we just purchased. Itâs
a Packeteer which will recognize and deal with unusal traffic flow and
bandwidth problems. We experienced several internal DOS attacks from
internal hosts caused by bots. Iâve configured the Packeteer but havenât
found a way to test the device. I have it set up on a private vlan with
just the nessus server/client, the Packeteer and a test host. But
running the normal scan with DOS enabled doesnât generate much traffic.
How do I crank it up to really eat up the bandwidth and emulate an
attack. No animals will be used in this experiment and it is safe for
childrens consumption as required by the FDA. Appreciate any help as I
just downloaded this software and am a newbie.
