How to send packets BASH

Question

I am asking how to send packages in BASH to websites. Does ping work? EXAMPLE: ping www.google.com -c 4
Packets can be any size.

Trying to make an DDOS protection tool but I first need to know how DDOS works to test my DDOS protection code. BASH usually errors large amounts of packages when I use ping as ‘too big’! Is there any way I can send large amounts of packages using BASH to simulate a DDOS attack?

And no, I would rather not download DDOS software, this is only to make the DDOS protection better.

Answer 1

DDoS attacks are usually sent from VPS', from an SSH like PuTTY or KiTTY.

I recommend finding the source code for the script that is indexed into these Virtual Private Servers, and that should give you an idea of how they are sent.

One script I definitely know of is DoS.rb, a Ruby script used to send large amount of packets from the SSH that is connected to the VPS.

Good luck! 👍

Answer 2

Is it possible to do this through BASH SSH?
