What is LoDDoS?

LoDDoS is a DDoS and Load Test simulation platform offered as a service via cloud. The platform generates real DDoS attacks against services via real attack parameters. It also evaluates the resilience of internet-enabled web applications against high traffic.

This enables organizations to test the limits and the efficiency of their existing DDoS prevention systems prior to an actual DDoS attack. The tests which are defined on LoDDoS, are conducted with he 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, if requested.

DDoS test sessions in LoDDoS platform can be monitored in real-time by all parties and can be paused at any time in case of an emergency. All tests can be repeated, and the results can be compared. Reports are generated instantly and can be saved for later evaluation.

A high number of requests targeted to web applications can be addressed with the help of LoDDoS’s Load Test feature, thus the limitations of these applications become visible. Load Test paves the way to analyze real situation that creates a considerable amount of load on applications before it occurs.

Security

In order to prevent abuse and misuse of LoDDoS provider has to take some precautions before tests.

Depending on the type of tests performed, the customer's target information (FQDN, URL and IP address), attack types, bandwidth must be acquired by LoDDoS provider in order to perform tests effective, safe and secure.

The customer must prove the target information which is submitted is belongs to them before tests performed.

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.

Instant Cloud Access

Direct cloud access by operator in case of network failure.

Attack Auto Time Out

Running attack vectors terminated automatically at the end of duration time and our botnet is able to finish each attack vector without any operator command if a connection issue takes place between CC and LoDDoS Manager system.

Why To Perform DDos Tests?

In practice, DDoS tests are performed to assess the efficiency and the limits of the DDoS prevention products and services in place, to improve these systems and related precautions, as well as to measure and enhance the efficiency and the capabilities of an organization, within the assumption of a DDoS attack. DDoS prevention solutions are not designed to work in a plug-and-play set-up. Hence, prior to taking the necessary safety measures, an organization’s normal and abnormal network traffics, baselines and thresholds must be determined. To identify these crucial elements properly, engineers should test the already-protected services against a real time DDOS attack and should also conduct some research on the current DDoS attack solutions within the market.

How To Perform DDos Tests?

As of now, most DDoS tests are being executed manually. The technical and administrative preparation stages of these tests take way too long than usual. Security and IT teams must work concurrently for a considerable amount of time to configure on premise traffic generator systems to conduct DDoS tests. Moreover, the operational aspect of this preliminary work also consumes additional load of time and cost, too. Real-time monitoring of DDoS tests is usually not available during these manual tests, and it takes a significant amount of time to generate reports once the test phase is completed. Even if the test phase is done, predominantly these reports are not re-usable.
