good ways to test dos tool? - cheselol - May 1, 2025

I made a TCP SYN flood program and I am wondering if there is a way to test the effect on the receiving end. can something like wireshark detect packets with unfinished handshakes?

Wireshark is not what you want. You'll quickly crash it. Try this:

Code
#!/bin/bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2
sudo apachectl start

I'm on Windows 10, this seems like its for linux. any workaround or something else?

Oh, I feel bad for you. Well, you don't want to test DDoS on localhost, but if you're just trying to test basic functionality, a quick Wireshark capture is an option. Otherwise, try this old thing:

Code
winget install -e --id ApacheFriends.Xampp.8.2
