LoDDoS

LoDDoS is a cloud-based DDoS Testing platform offered as software as a service (SaaS) model. It is a useful and effective DDoS testing platform for red and blue teams with various real life DDoS test types. Preparation stages that normally take a long time and require technical expertise in a manual DDoS test are carried out automatically by LoDDoS. Tests are carried out easily, DDoS mitigation systems/services, network and security devices, applications, incident detection, and response capabilities can be evaluated according to the test results. LoDDoS consists of: · Command Control Center – where it detects, controls, monitors and reports the attacks · Bot Networks – where the attacks are conducted · System Monitoring – where the target system’s health status is monitored The platform allows organizations to test/review/check the limits and efficiency of DDoS mitigation system prior to a real DDoS attack. DDoS tests can be stopped, restarted, recorded, and reported at any time. The test reports also can be stored for later review. Additionally, customized tests as a service can be created via LoDDoS Web GUI. With LoDDoS, organizations can easily test the limits and capabilities of information technology infrastructures, DDoS mitigation systems/services, and incident response mechanisms without being exposed to a real malicious DDoS attack but by a self-initiated controlled one. The tests which are defined on LoDDoS, are conducted with the attendance of an Operator as well as can be initiated with a single action, monitored live, stopped in a controlled manner, repeated as often as needed. Reports can be generated automatically and promptly by the end of each test thus results can be shared with third parties. Two Factor Security To perform a DDoS test; both the operator (the tester) and the customer (tested) must approve the relevant test. In this way, the test is only guaranteed to the party who wants to take the test. Emergency Stop Button The tests being performed can be stopped by one-touch if desired. In case of unexpected situations, tests can be stopped deliberately and restarted at any time deliberately and restarted at any time. LoDDoS Architecture Bot Infrastructure is a group of servers that runs on a cloud service provider. Command Control Center manages all bots. The number of bots on the bot infrastructure, the geographical location of the bots, and the generated bandwidth can be all controlled via the Command Control Center based on the scope of the test. Monitoring System controls the type of monitoring to be executed by the monitoring component.
