These HTML-based DoS attack samples were developed to demonstrate the potential impacts of web-based Denial of Service attacks. This collection serves an educational purpose, showcasing various methods to overwhelm servers and interrupt normal operations. Each sample is intended for researchers and students to study the mechanics and implications of DoS attacks.

Available DoS Samples

Below is a list of HTML DoS attack samples created by QuickSilver for learning and demonstration purposes:

  • Ping Flood (HTML-based): Simulates a ping flood attack using repetitive HTML requests to overwhelm a target server with traffic.
  • HTTP GET Request Flood: A sample where multiple HTTP GET requests are generated in quick succession, simulating a web traffic surge that causes server overloading.
  • Slowloris-like Attack: Mimics a Slowloris attack by opening many connections to a server without completing the request, keeping resources tied up.
  • Connection Keep-Alive DoS: A DoS technique that holds multiple connections open indefinitely using HTTP keep-alive headers, thus exhausting server resources.
  • UDP-Like Web Traffic Flood: Generates continuous web traffic to simulate UDP flooding via HTML mechanisms.

Educational Purpose

These samples are designed for ethical hacking, security research, and academic purposes only. They provide insights into how such attacks operate and how network administrators and security professionals can mitigate these threats. Each sample is coded to be as simple as possible for study and experimentation.
