PTDOS:Tool to support DoS testing

Abstract

Nowadays, cyber attacks are a common part of our lives. Targets of attacks are various, such as obtaining sensitive data, network infiltration, system sabotage or denial of service (DoS). This paper deals with the attacks that target denial of service. The main goal is the custom design and development of the ptdos application, which allows testing of the resilience of network infrastructure and web servers against these types of cyber attacks. The application will be freely available and will contain various types of attacks (both flood and logic) to sufficiently test the system. The purpose of the work is to create a quality and simple tool to enhance cyber security.
