Rules are established principles or guidelines that dictate how something should be done or how situations should be handled. They are used to regulate behavior, ensure fairness, and maintain order in various contexts, such as society, organizations, games, and social settings. Rules can be formal or informal. Formal rules are codified and enforced by a governing body, such as laws, regulations, or contracts. Informal rules are unwritten and enforced by social pressure, such as social norms or etiquette. Rules can be helpful in many ways. They can: Ensure fairness by creating a level playing field for everyone. Protect people from harm by setting standards of behavior. Maintain order by providing a framework for behavior. However, rules can also be seen as restrictive or unfair. It is important to consider the purpose of a rule before deciding whether or not to follow it. For example, a speed limit may be seen as restrictive, but it is also designed to protect people from harm. A dress...
Let’s go over some very basic info regarding DoS or DDoS attacks. There are basically three types of DoS and DDoS attacks:
Application layer DoS and DDoS attacks
Protocol layer DoS and DDoS attacks
Volume-based DoS and DDoS attacks
Application layer DoS and DDoS attacks
Application-layer DoS and DDoS attacks are attacks that target Windows, Apache, OpenBSD, or other software vulnerabilities to perform the attack and crash the server.
Protocol layer DoS and DDoS attacks
A protocol DoS and DDoS attacks is an attack on the protocol level. This category includes Synflood, Ping of Death, and more.
Volume-based DoS and DDoS attacks attacks
This type of DoS and DDoS attacks includes ICMP floods, UDP floods, and other kind of floods performed via spoofed packets.
The word DoS and DDoS is used loosely as when you attack from a single machine, it’s usually considered as a DoS attack. Multiply a single attacker from a botnet (or a group) then it becomes a DDoS attack. There are many explanations to it, but just know that no matter which type of attack it is, they are equally detrimental for a server/network.

Download GoldenEye
I prefer to make a folder for everything. I will just do that. You do what you need to do.
So I made a folder named ‘GoldenEye‘ and changed directory to that. Then used wget to pull down the master archive.
Once download completes, unzip the master.zip file.
root@kali:~/GoldenEye# unzip master.zip
This creates a new folder named GoldenEye-master.
root@kali:~/GoldenEye#
root@kali:~/GoldenEye# ls
GoldenEye-master master.zip
root@kali:~/GoldenEye#
root@kali:~/GoldenEye# cd GoldenEye-master/
root@kali:~/GoldenEye/GoldenEye-master#
root@kali:~/GoldenEye/GoldenEye-master# ls
goldeneye.py README.md res util
root@kali:~/GoldenEye/GoldenEye-master#
Run GoldenEye – DoS website
This is rather easy. Following is the usage of goldeneye.py.
USAGE: ./goldeneye.py <url> [OPTIONS]
OPTIONS:
Flag Description Default
-u, --useragents File with user-agents to use (default: randomly generated)
-w, --workers Number of concurrent workers (default: 50)
-s, --sockets Number of concurrent sockets (default: 30)
-m, --method HTTP Method to use 'get' or 'post' or 'random' (default: get)
-d, --debug Enable Debug Mode [more verbose output] (default: False)
-h, --help Shows this help
You should schedule and announce your test window so users are aware of the possibility of an outage. Often simulations result in actual failures.
Under NO Circumstances should you run a DoS simulation/test attack against your environment without first notifying your hosting provider. This is especially true for external / full stack tests that will be going through your provider’s network.
Depending on your Linux, Windows or Mac distribution, (any OS that supports Python would do), you just use the following command:
Depending on where you’ve saved the files, adjust your path and command.
Following is taken from my tests:
The attack
