Linderhof: a tool for assessing reflective DDoS attacks mitigation systems
Abstract
Denial of service attacks aim to disrupt legitimate users from accessing a particular service. Its amplified and reflected version is more commonly used and has become an increasing threat to the Internet stability. The Linderhof tool was created for the study of reflective and volumetric attacks mitigation systems. It enables the evaluation of the CoAP, DNS, Memcached, NTP, SSDP, SNMP protocols and is extensible to other protocols. In this paper the tool and its use will be presented in more detail.
