DDoS Simulation

A DDoS Simulation is an effort to make a system or network device unavailable to its users by attempting to connect simultaneously to the victim machine using multiple hosts. It consists of the efforts to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet. Target sites include web servers such as banks, payment gateways, etc.

The attack involves populating the target machine with a massive number of requests, so that it does not respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. The objective of these attacks is to either force the target to reset or rapidly consume all its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service.

There is always a threat of a DDoS attack irrespective of the type of industry. There is a need to be prepared to avoid such attacks. A professional team of DDoS attackers can help you to secure yourself from attacks.

Krash Consulting’s DDoS Simulation is designed to simulate a variety of DDoS attacks to examine an organization’s security posture and the ability to withstand and deal with such attacks. The simulation service can be customized based on your business and security needs. It will ultimately help you strengthen your defenses against actual DDoS attacks.

Your infrastructure will be tested for the following attack categories:

• Application layer DDOS attacks
• Volumetric DDOS attacks
• Low-and-slow attacks

METHODOLOGY

Foot printing

We study the target thoroughly and meticulously. We carefully examine your organization and its responsiveness to different kinds of DDoS attacks and collect needed information from all possible sources.

Scanning

We then advance to scan your website or system or network infrastructure for any vulnerabilities and gaps.

Enumeration

By now, we are ready to originate the strategy for the attack (DDoS). Now we have enough data to decide which tools and techniques to use to hit the system best.

Actual Attack

It’s the time for a multi-vector DDoS attack. We can launch surprise attacks, any combinations of application-layer attacks, low and slow attacks, or volumetric attacks.

Reporting

It is the last phase of DDoS simulation that happens after the attack. We prepare a manually written report that contains recommendations and suggestions for future protection.

BENEFITS

• Prevent costly security breaches that may incur high operational and capex costs
• Maximize your resource’s availability
• Protect against next-generation attacks
• Prepare your team to be ever ready for future DDoS attacks in a safe, controlled environment
• Limit disruption from sophisticated attacks
