AlterE Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 In a Denial of Service attack, How many TCP packet messages would it take to disable a target site? And if possible, can anybody estimates of how much it takes to disable a site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 This would depend on a few factors including but not limited to the specs of the server the site is hosted on and the amount of bandwith you can use to connect to the server. In an ideal situation you would be sending packets faster than the server can send them back. Also if the site is hosted on Google app engine it is going to be difficult to DoS because of the architecture, basically Google spins up a new instance when the load gets high. The best way to find out is to setup a web server and try to Dos it with something like Low Orbit Ion Cannon or one of those nasty perl scripts.
