Abstract

Testing for denial of service vulnerabilities, the effects of attacks and mitigation strategies all require the construction of a dedicated testbed facility. Although the tools for launching such attacks are widely available, for example the Stacheldraht, Trinoo and Phatbot tools [15, p. 87], and although the attacks themselves are well understood, the simulation on a small scale in the laboratory of a large and complex system (the Internet) is fraught with difficulty.
