ICMP Ping Flooding [POD] Windows Application Written In Java.
A ping of death is a type of attack on a computer system that involves sending a malformed or otherwise malicious ping to a computer.
A correctly-formed ping packet is typically 56 bytes in size, or 64 bytes when the Internet Protocol header is considered.
However, any IPv4 packet (including pings) may be as large as 65,535 bytes.
Some computer systems were never designed to properly handle a ping packet larger than the maximum packet size because it violates the Internet Protocol documented in RFC 791.
Like other large but well-formed packets, a ping of death is fragmented into groups of 8 octets before transmission.
However, when the target computer reassembles the malformed packet, a buffer overflow can occur, causing a system crash and potentially allowing the injection of malicious code.
In early implementations of TCP/IP, this bug is easy to exploit and can affect a wide variety of systems including Unix, Linux, Mac, Windows, and peripheral devices.
As systems began filtering out pings of death through firewalls and other detection methods, a different kind of ping attack known as ping flooding later appeared, which floods the victim with so many ping requests that normal traffic fails to reach the system (a basic denial-of-service attack).
- JDoS sends large 65500 (
MAX Allowed for Windows Env.) bytes of packets for each process started by it. - JDoS (
My release - again) creates a number of 100 processes. - So, totally it sends 65500×100 bytes/sec == 6397 kb/sec == 6.24 mb/sec to victim theoretically.
Practically it was avarage 6.8mb/sec for 100 processes in my case.
My ISP Internet Connection supports 100mbit/s max. So, I limited it to 100 processes.
You can tweak it as much as you can [If your PC is compatiable].
When I was thinking about How can I improve JDoS.. I found that clicking the attack button multiple times(ex.5) multiplies processes(5×100). I hit the button 12 times and saw a massive 21 mbyte/s outputstream from my Computer through my 100 mbit/s Internet connection.
If you are thinking me mad because why I didn't put 12×100 = 1200 processes in code ~ Then, I remember you that, If I try to open 1200 processes at once, My PC which has only 8GB RAM and 3.30 GHz Processor will not be able to take it.
But, after observing through Task manager, I came to this decision that, if you take much time to increase the traffic(process) your PC will get less slower. (If you have less Computer Specification like me)
