DOS/DDOS code challenge for school

[RobertS]

If anyone could help, for school, my IT teacher gave us the challenge to help with a school project.  We are learning about security and privacy, mainly about keeping our IP private, and therefore set us a challenge.

 

We must create a DDOSing or DOSing application using any language.  I have tried the ones on YT but they don't seem to do anything at all apart from slow my own computer down.  If anyone knows of a script please let me know.

Even if it's for a project, I don't think we're allowed to just hand over a script for DDOS's someone.

 

Lets just get to concepts. You just want to create a script that will flood the target with packets, so maybe a bat file that will open like, 100 cmd prompt windows and all ping or tracert a target IP. Of course most actual host machines don't respond to ping requests, but it might work for class as a proof that you understand the concept behind these kinds of attacks.

Is there a way to learn this eg. A site like hackthissite.org?

Isn't that what the class you're in is for?

I am only in a GCSE class so I don't think they will teach us how to hack. It was just an extra challenge thing

As the other guy said, DDOSing is just sending information at a server till it gets slowed to a point where normal traffic can't pass through. So for example if I wanted to slow down a server that allows me to upload files, I would right a program that would marco the action on me uploading the file over and over again to the server.

Windows cmd is never going to do anything. Ddos doesn't have to be a network floor it can be anything that denies service to a user.

 

If you want to go down the flooring route then using python or better yet node to request lots of thing can cause the db to have to many connections and cause a ddos. I would pick node because it's async and you don't have to wait for requests response though python would make it simple for adding multi processing. I still think node would be faster.

 

Taking your batch idea just make a batch file open itself or add random data to a file until the drive is full.

using scripts from somewhere else to DDOS has nothing to do with hacking.

 

get creative

Read the existing code and understand it. Tools like [tool of your choice] are opensource and hosted on Github.

I think further/any help on how to do a DDOS (for a school project ) would not be accept in this forum. I am even surprised that this is not deleted.

 

p.s. you can shoot down slow repeater accidentally by searching ip addresses inside the network with only one PC (don't buy cheap repeater). This would be a perfect target to test your program as it is your own network and hardware.

You can take routers out with lots of dns requests

nobody would try to use port or ip scans for taking out routers or repeater. A single PC runing N-Map should not be a problem for any device.

I've taken my talk talk router out doing web requests for a scraper bot o was making . I was using python with green threads anything over a pool of 200 would kill it.
