siege-engine
Advanced tools
A general basic Python-powered SYN flooder bot.
Just type:
pip install siege-engine
python -m siege_engine 300 tass.com
Note that a helpful error message will be displayed if you just type:
python -m siege_engine
Please set the 300 value regarding your network conditions. This is the amount of threads that will be spawned. Obviously, more is better (I bet your network could hold about 2000 of them).
Note that increasing thread count about 100% CPU usage is pointless, because of the GIL. You can, altogether, fire up multiple instances :D
Just note that GIL is not a practical limit, I've tested it on my PC with 15k threads and it ate only 23% of the CPU, so it's more academic concern.
Note that if zero connections were made, that means the target server is no longer responding, which is a good thing.
Start from 13000. The startup time for 25000 threads is pretty rough, but overall the app manages to start. If the process manages to hit a single core 100%, start a new program, or just reduce the amount of threads. The process is network-bound.
If you have any better ideas, PRs are welcome!
