The source of a DoS attack can be a geographically diverse set of traffic originators all sending packets to a single target. DoS attacks can also manifest with transmitting a deluge of packets or opening many connections to a target system, overwhelming it to the point of saturating its capacity and consuming all its available resources, thus rendering it unusable. Other DoS attacks can involve an attacker gaining access to the target system, taking control of it and shutting it down. The attack can be a single “silver bullet” packet sent to a system that disrupts a service and crashes it. Furthermore, the experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed environment and present the impact of the attacks on particular target servers in IPv4 and IPv6 networks.Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are malicious acts that prevent the utilization of an IT system. The case study of implementation of this environment shows straightforwardness to create a testbed comparable with a botnet with ten thousand bots. Moreover, no special hardware is required for the attacks execution, the testbed uses existing infrastructure in an organization. Ansible is a powerful tool and simplifies the implementation of the test environment. In proposed testbed, Ansible orchestration tool is employed to perform and coordinate DDoS attacks. DDoS attacks are still serious threat in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks and creation of simple tool to test the network for DDoS attack and to allow evaluation of vulnerabilities and DDoS countermeasures of the networks is necessary. The experimental testbed is based on employment of a tool for IT automation to perform DDoS attacks under monitoring. Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on design, background and experimental results of real environment of DDoS attacks.
