Experiment No 7: Aim Theory: Denial-of-Service (Dos)

A DDoS attack is simulated using the hping3 tool to flood a target with packets from a single source, while wireshark monitors the network traffic. Hping3 is used to send TCP, ICMP, and UDP packets to the victim in a denial of service attack. Wireshark observes the effects of the DoS and DDoS attacks on the network resources and availability. The experiment aims to simulate a denial of service attack using hping3 and analyze the results through wireshark.

EXPERIMENT NO 7

Aim​: Simulate DOS attack using Hping3 and Wireshark

Theory:

Denial-of-Service(Dos):
Denial-of-service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network
resource unavailable to its intended users, such as to temporarily or indefinitely
interrupt or suspend services. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is where the
attack source is more than one, often thousands of, unique IP addresses. It is
analogous to a group of people crowding the entry door or gate to a shop or
business, and not letting legitimate parties enter into the shop or business,
disrupting normal operations.
A DoS attack tries to make a web resource unavailable to its users by flooding the
target URL with more requests than the server can handle. That means that during
the attack period, regular traffic on the website will be either slowed down or
completely interrupted.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS):


A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a DoS attack that comes from
more than one source at the same time. A DDoS attack is typically generated
using thousands (potentially hundreds of thousands) of unsuspecting zombie
machines. The machines used in such attacks are collectively known as “botnets”
and will have previously been infected with malicious software, so they can be
remotely controlled by the attacker. According to research, tens of millions of
computers are likely to be infected with botnet programs worldwide.

Hping3:
hping is a free ​packet generator​ and analyzer for the ​TCP/IP​ protocol . It is a one type of tester for
network security. It is one of the ​de facto​ tools for security auditing and testing of ​firewalls​ and
networks, and was used to exploit the ​idle scan​ scanning technique (also invented by the hping
author), and now implemented in the ​Nmap Security Scanner​. The new version of hping, hping3, is
scriptable using the ​Tcl​ language and implements an engine for string based, human readable
description of ​TCP/IP​ packets, so that the programmer can write scripts related to low level ​TCP/IP
packet manipulation and analysis in very short time.

Installation Steps:
Install Hping3 and wireshark
1. Flood the victim with TCP/ICMP/UDP packet using Hping3 (-- flood option)
2. Observe the Dos attack and DDos attack using Wireshark
Conclusion:

DoS attacks affect availability of resources. DoS attack is simulated using Hping3
and resources are monitored using wireshark.
