Using Nmap as a Network Stress Testing Tool

[Professor 0110 <professor0110 () gmail com>]

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if there was anyway that I could utilize Nmap as a
Network Stress Testing tool, or a tool which enables me to get a rough idea
of how my network and firewalls will be able withstand a DoS attack (SYN
Flood and UDP Flood). What sparked this idea was the fact that Decoy
scanning can cause a SYN Flood if the decoy targets are not available. But
since this TCP/IP Flaw was fixed over a decade ago, it is hardly useful
anymore.

Cheers,

Professor 0110
