Well, we use this tool to test our own applications.
All the Pre Built binary are available in the release page
go install github.com/TechMDW/GoDown/cmd/godown@latestRun the program from source code (assuming you are in the root of the project):
go run cmd/godown <command>Run the program from binary:
<path to binary> <command>Run the program when installed with go:
godown <command>| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| httpflood | Initiates a http flood to the specified url/ip/hostname. httpflood -h for more info |
| history | Shows a list of the latest 50 requests |
Will work on this list when I got some free time. If you want to contribute, feel free to do so.
- HTTP flood attack.
- Slowloris attack.
- SYN flood attack.
- UDP flood attack.
- Add support for connecting multiple applications (ddos) and attack the same host.
- Move necessary code to /pkg.
- Add binary for windows.
- Add binary for linux.
- Add binary for mac.
This attack is a simple http flood attack. It sends a request to the specified url/ip/hostname. The attack will continue until the user stops it. The attack is very effective. It also works for websites that are protected by cloudflare.
I did notice when adding support for the user-agent and some random headers the attack is much more potent. The error called Forbidden 403 did not happen as much as it did when I was not using user-agent and random headers.
- Test the amount of goroutines you can use. For example, on my desktop I can usually do 400-1500 until I blue screen. On my laptop I can do 20000 and it all works fine.
- Sometimes more goroutines is not always better. I noticed that when I used 1000 goroutines the attack was not as potent as when I used 500 goroutines. This was when testing on a smaller server with only 1 core and 1GB of ram. So play around with the amount of goroutines you use.
- Play around with the timeout flag to see what effect it has on the attack. Keeping the connection open for a longer time might be more effective.
This is still under development. But can share that under testing I was unable to take down a website.
This is still under development. Promising results so far.
