People still use the http keepalive dos tools? That's so.. 2006'ish.
I have some penetration testing things I wrote about 6 years ago, one of them is a neat SNMP reflector that can generated about 10gB/s of traffic due to spoofed UDP+SNMP OID requests..
I like BuyVM BTW.
Honest question here, since we've delved off topic, why do blackhats, hackers, et. al. want DDoS protect services? It's the fixed nature of IPs that are a rampant security issue in part. I've seen similar requests on WHT and scratch my head about such. Care to shed some light on this?
DDoS protection services are a total waste of time (and money). The reason why is because they get targeted by white/greys for exploiting/publishing people's information (SSN's and the likes)
I would never provide DDoS protection to anyone, EVER. It's a total waste of money and can attract unwanted attention on your network (outages, BGP flaps, et al). I would also never sign up for a dedicated server or a VPS on a network that offers DDoS protection services.
Besides, most of the DoS protection services aren't very good, and they only send a bgp community string to the upstreams to stop it there, and the other ones are physical devices that do some weird QoS rate limiting and whatnot.
