goldeneye: Http dos test tool

SYNOPSIS

goldeneye <URL> [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

GoldenEye is a HTTP DoS Test Tool. This tool can be used to test if a site is susceptible to Deny of Service (DoS) attacks. Is possible to open several parallel connections against an URL to check if the web server can be compromised.

The program tests the security in networks and uses 'HTTP Keep Alive + NoCache' as attack vector.

: -u, --useragents File with user-agents to use. Default: randomly generated.
: -w, --workers Number of concurrent workers. Default: 10.
: -s, --sockets Number of concurrent sockets. Default: 500.
: -m, --method HTTP method to use. Values: 'get', 'post' and 'random'. Default: get.
: -d, --debug Enable debug mode [more verbose output].

NOTES

GoldenEye can create several concurrent workers and it can use all local resources. Choose good parameters to avoid local problems.
