Simulated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack to test the resilience of networks, applications and systems to distributed attacks (such as botnets). Includes validation of DDOS prevention measures. Provides a quantitative analysis of potential performance degradation under increasing attack load, including response time and availability, and break point analysis. Tests the effectiveness of any DDOS prevention measures.
Our professional team of consultants can help you to simulate DDOS attacks on selected infrastructure by executing its unique DDOS testing methodology which effectively demonstrates how robust your IT infrastructure is if a DDOS attack were to happen. By planning thoroughly and making sure the testing is executed in a tightly controlled manner that does not affect your production environment, we are able to provide a fairly accurate picture of your potential susceptibility to such an attack.

A DDoS attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by using multiple hosts attempting to connect simultaneously to the victim machine. It consists of the efforts of one or more people to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet. Typical target sites include high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and root name servers.

The attack involves saturating the target machine with huge number of external requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. The objective of these attacks is to either force the targeted computer(s) to reset, or rapidly consume its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service.
