DoSinator is a powerful Denial of Service (DoS) testing tool developed in Python. Designed for security professionals and researchers, this tool allows them to simulate various DoS attacks, providing a realistic environment for assessing the resilience of networks, systems, and applications against potential cyber threats.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/HalilDeniz/DoSinator.git Navigate to the project directory:

usage: dosinator.py [-h] -t TARGET [-p PORT] [-np NUM_PACKETS] [-ps PACKET_SIZE] [-ar ATTACK_RATE] [-d DURATION]
[--attack-mode {syn,sctp,udp,icmp,http,dns,os_fingerprint,slowloris,smurf,rudy,arp}]
[-sp SPOOF_IP] [--data DATA] [--file FILE] [--pcap PCAP] [--arp-mode {request,reply}]
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TARGET, --target TARGET
Target IP address
-p PORT, --port PORT Target port number (required for non-ARP attacks)
-np NUM_PACKETS, --num_packets NUM_PACKETS
Number of packets to send (default: 500)
-ps PACKET_SIZE, --packet_size PACKET_SIZE
Packet size in bytes (default: 64)
-ar ATTACK_RATE, --attack_rate ATTACK_RATE
Attack rate in packets/second (default: 10)
-d DURATION, --duration DURATION
Duration of the attack in seconds
--attack-mode {syn,sctp,udp,icmp,http,dns,os_fingerprint,slowloris,smurf,rudy,arp}
Attack mode (default: syn)
-sp SPOOF_IP, --spoof-ip SPOOF_IP
Spoof IP address
--data DATA Custom data string to send
--file FILE File path to read data from
--pcap PCAP PCAP file path to save outgoing packets
--arp-mode {request,reply}
ARP mode (default: request) target_ip: IP address of the target system.target_port: Port number of the target service.num_packets: Number of packets to send (default: 500).packet_size: Size of each packet in bytes (default: 64).attack_rate: Attack rate in packets/second (default: 10).duration: Duration of the attack in seconds.attack_mode: Attack mode: syn, udp, icmp, http (default: syn).spoof_ip: Spoof IP address (default: None).data: Custom data string to send.file: File path to read data from.pcap: PCAP file path to save outgoing packets--arp-mode: Optional flag to specify ARP mode. Use request for ARP request packets (default) or reply for ARP reply packets.Here are some usage examples of DoSinator:
