 Hello nanogers,

 Following the multiple thread on ddos attack, I was asking myself how
 someone could test chosen solutions.
 In most cases, you can't load your Internet access in the same way
 attackers will (does someone have a botners with ten thousands computers
 or more :) ?)
 But a solution to test basic attack (synflood, slowloris, socktress,
 ...) with 10 to hundred computers would be interesting, so not a tool
 but more a service.

 Found only Parabon [1] on Google

 Does someone know something similar ?

 Thanks
 Best regards,

 Note: Please, don't forget this kind of public tests have some serious
 legal impact and you need to have an agreement with your ISP/operators
 to do it in most countries.
 Note2: Google has a lot of answers. Most of them are about tool and
 methodology, so not sure for a live test. I'm not looking for a lab
 solution but real one with business acceptation (and a wise choice on
 the hours of the test so front-end can be switch to "maintenance mode")
