I use argus, radium, and the ra clients to do this. Works very well www.qosient.com

On a similar note but slightly unrelated note,

Not to thread hijack, but does anyone have any useful recipes for
generating any basic baseline data (top talkers, SSH brute forcing, SMTP brute forcing, 445,etc)
via any of the open source netflow collectors (Flow-Tools, nfdump)?

I've had mixed success getting these packages to produce any useful information after getting them to collect the flow data.

Thanks,

YMMV, but mudos converts *any* IP packet into a DoS generator (it's free).

Well these days I would use http://www.openvas.org and
http://www.metasploit.org
for vulnerability scanning and analysis.

However that wouldn't be a DDoS, but could certainly lead to DOS.

If you can get your hands on a PCAP from a previous attack, you could also use something like Bit-Twist which will allow you to manipulate things like the destination IP and also the transmission rate, etc. Pretty useful tool to include in the DDoS simulation toolbox.
