Introduction

Demand for web services has introduced a general need for safe security measures, particularly as not all people have good intentions. Website owners must ascertain the strength and resilience of their servers, particularly in the face of potential Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The primary objective of this project is to develop a distributed botnet which main goal is to generate and dispatch requests to a target server until it falls. The project seeks to determine the border at which the server's performance begins to loose, thereby identifying the maximum stable request load. This research serves to make server owners more stable with critical insights into their infrastructure's capacity, enabling them to increase defenses against DDoS attacks.
