Nessus is very good, but for full control over your packets I recommend hping (http://www.kyuzz.org/antirez/software.html). This will allow you to create the most weird and wonderful packets that you could possibly need at the speed you need. I also use hping to do manual port scanning for those rare pen tests where you just can't get enough information from a host using, I hate to say this, nmap.

That is a huge statement consdering it is open source tool. It will do excelent DOS testing. Using NESSUS may move you out of the security-basics and turn you into the security-expert. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Shackleford, Dave M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 14:53:36 -0400 >NMAP. > >-----Original Message----- >From: Pradeep Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 3:38 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Syn Flood generator / Dos Attack generator > > >Folks > >Does any know any tool which can generate Syn Floods / DoS attacks. >This is for lab testing purposes. > > >-Kumar > >
