DDoS Testing

Network Resilience Assessment

Professional-grade DDoS stress testing and network resilience assessment. We simulate real-world attack scenarios across Layer 3, 4, and 7 to identify vulnerabilities, validate mitigation systems, and quantify your infrastructure's breaking point — before attackers find it first.

ATTACK VECTORS

What We Simulate

Comprehensive coverage across the full OSI stack. Each vector is calibrated to expose specific weaknesses in your defense chain.

Layer 3

Network Layer Attacks

ICMP Flood

High-volume ping floods to saturate bandwidth and overwhelm network interfaces

IP Fragmentation

Malformed fragmented packets designed to exhaust reassembly buffers

Smurf Attack

Amplified ICMP traffic via broadcast addresses to multiply attack volume

Layer 4

Transport Layer Attacks

TCP SYN Flood

Half-open connection exhaustion targeting TCP state tables and backlog queues

UDP Flood

Volumetric UDP packet storms targeting random ports to consume bandwidth

ACK Flood

Spoofed ACK packets to bypass stateless firewalls and overload session tracking

TCP RST Attack

Connection reset injection to disrupt established TCP sessions

Layer 7

Application Layer Attacks

HTTP GET/POST Flood

High-rate legitimate-looking HTTP requests to exhaust web server resources

Slowloris

Slow HTTP headers keeping connections alive to exhaust concurrent connection limits

RUDY (R-U-Dead-Yet)

Slow POST body transmission targeting application thread pools

DNS Query Flood

Amplified DNS queries exploiting open resolvers for volumetric amplification

Cache Bypass

Randomized query strings forcing origin server processing on every request

METHODOLOGY

How We Test

A structured, six-phase approach designed for safety, accuracy, and actionable results.

01

Reconnaissance & Scoping

We map your infrastructure topology, identify public-facing assets, document CDN/WAF configurations, and define test boundaries. No production systems are tested without explicit authorization.

02

Baseline Measurement

Capture pre-test performance metrics: request latency (p50/p95/p99), throughput capacity, CPU/memory utilization, connection pool status, and bandwidth saturation thresholds.

03

Graduated Attack Simulation

Attacks ramp from 10% to 100% of target volume in controlled increments. Each escalation phase runs for a defined window with continuous monitoring. Tests are immediately halted if predefined safety thresholds are breached.

04

Multi-Vector Scenarios

Real attackers don't use a single vector. We combine volumetric floods with protocol exploitation and application-layer attacks simultaneously to test defense correlation and failover behavior.

05

Mitigation Validation

Verify that your DDoS mitigation triggers correctly: scrubbing center activation times, rate limiting effectiveness, geo-blocking rules, challenge pages, and CDN failover behavior.

06

Reporting & Remediation

Comprehensive technical report including attack traffic profiles (PPS, Gbps, CPS), time-to-mitigation metrics, identified vulnerabilities, infrastructure bottlenecks, and prioritized remediation steps.

CAPABILITIES

Technical Edge

Enterprise-grade testing infrastructure with real-time visibility and safety controls.

Real-Time Telemetry

Live dashboards showing attack traffic volume (Gbps/PPS), latency impact, packet loss rates, and mitigation system response times during active tests.

Distributed Attack Sources

Traffic generated from geographically distributed nodes to simulate realistic botnet patterns. No single-source fingerprinting.

Safe Testing Framework

Automated kill switches, pre-defined traffic ceilings, and real-time health monitoring ensure tests never exceed agreed parameters or impact production.

Zero-Day Simulation

Test against emerging attack patterns including encrypted floods (HTTPS), DNS-over-HTTPS amplification, and protocol-specific exploits.

Sustained & Burst Modes

Configurable test duration from 30-second burst tests to 24-hour sustained load scenarios. Simulate both quick-hit and prolonged campaign attacks.

Detailed Analytics

Post-test analysis with packet captures (PCAP), flow data, time-series graphs, and comparative baselines against industry benchmarks.
