I’ve talked about testing few DoS too tools that can put heavy load on HTTP servers in order to bring them to their knees by exhausting the resource pool. GoldenEye is the first of those tools and it is one of the newest I discovered in GitHub. You can DoS website with GoldenEye and bring it down almost within 30 seconds depending on how big their memory pool is. Of course, it wont work on protected servers and servers behind a proper WAF, IDS, but this is a great tool to test your own Web Server for load testing and amend your iptables/Firewall rules accordingly. I will put several warnings and disclaimers in this post so that even the most feeble minds wont be able to deny reading those.
