FWIW, I'm primarily concerned about testing PPS loads and not brute force bandwidth.
Simple solution. Write some DDoS software that folks can install on their own machines. Make its so that the software is only triggered by commands from a device under the same administrative control, i.e. it uses a shared secret that is set up when folks install the software. So far there are two pieces of software, one pieces does the DDoSing, and the other piece controls it. You now need a third bit of software that sends DDoS requests to the controllers, and the controllers don't actually act upon such requests, but queue them until their administrators OK the DDoSing. Think of it a bit like a moderated mailing list. If you product that set of software, I'll bet that a lot of folks would be interested in working together to do DDoS stress testing of each others networks, at times of their own choosing. --Michael Dillon
