What is DDoS?

DDoS is an abbreviation for Distributed Denial of Service, a type of attack aimed at disrupting the availability of a targeted website, network, or service. This attack is typically carried out by overwhelming the target with a large amount of traffic from multiple sources. In the context of red teaming and pentesting, DDoS attacks are simulated to evaluate the ability of the blue team to withstand such sophisticated attacks.

Optimized for Speed and Efficiency

“DDoSlayer” is optimized for speed and efficiency, making it a great choice for those looking to execute DDoS attacks in a timely and effective manner. The tool provides real-time feedback on the number of packets sent during the attack, enabling the user to monitor its progress.

User-Friendly and Easy to Use

Moreover, the tool is designed with ease of use in mind, allowing even novice users to carry out advanced DDoS attacks with ease.
