Hi
Can you please explain what do you mean by a 'good DDoS' tool? What does it
exactly do ? I am just trying to learn what should a good tool be able to do
in a scenario such as DDoS. I hope its not just rate limiting of traffic.
In a small DDOS attempt there are things and appliances that can help to
mitigate the issues of alot of packets passing the internet connection<s>.
But in a majot DDOS that fills your pipes there's really nothing one can
do themselves, not without the help of a larger piped upstream provider
assiting.
For pentesting, it is our understanding that DDOS is not in most cases
considered a useful concept or stratedgy.
As for what those appliacnes might do in small DDOs packet attacks, your
best source of info is from the vendors sites, provided you can read
between the fluff....
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne
