This workshop intends to assist the understanding of mostly used DDoS techniques against performing live attacks against test platforms by using basic tools found in GNU/Linux systems.
The session will contain presentation of several virtual machines set up solely for this demonstrating purposes. These Linux-based VMs will be configured on a virtualisation platform such as VirtualBox or VMWare. There will be 1 machine used as the target host, and several other machines to be used as the attacker machines, to support the "Distributed" part of the DDoS.
To carry the demo, built-in tools such as hping3 and Slowloris will be used to reduce the time of the attack simulations. Target machine will be set up to monitor the abnormalities in the system, which will be done via command line tools.
Following the attack demos, the target system's set up monitors and logs will be investigated to demonstrate live on how to detect common patterns in the specified attacks. These will be then used to implement mitigation techniques.
