dhcp flood source code with libtins

DHCP Flood C++ Source

This source code uses libtins to manipulate DHCP packets. Creates a DHCP Request of all IP pool range and broadcasts. This is a simple source code just for educational purposes.

How It Works

  • It picks an IP address from the specified IP pool range
  • Generates a random MAC
  • Creates a DHCP Request packet with that IP and random MAC
  • Broadcasts
  • Waits for receiving ACK/NACK from DHCP Server
  • Picks the next IP address from the ip range and repeats steps again.

The steps explained above, causes an starvation in DHCP IP assignment. So DHCP won't work any more.

Warning
