Stress Test tools | Kali Linux

AAT Team — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 09:55:37 +0000

The stress test is used to test the system for stability. This testing intentionally creates traffic more than normal operational capacity—however, many tools are available, both open-source and paid-for stress testing. As an information security expert, you should know about these tools to test the availability of the system.

Kali Linux is an Advanced Penetration Testing Linux distribution used for Penetration Testing, Ethical Hacking, and network security assessments. Here is the list of stress testing tools available in Kali Linux.

1. DHCPig
DHCPig is an advanced DHCP exhaustion attack available on Kali Linux. It exhausts all IPs in LAN and prevents new users from connecting LAN.

Tool Usage:

2. FunkLoad
FunkLoad is written in python and mainly use for both functional and load testing.

Tool Usage:

3. iaxflood
This tool is used to send a UDP Inter-Asterisk_eXchange (i.e. IAX) packet to the destination address.

Tool Usage:

4. Inundator
Inundator is a tool used to flood Intrusion Detection System (IDS) logs to hide the real attacks from the attacker.

Tool Usage:

5. inviteflood
This tool inviteflood with SIP/SDP INVITE message over UDP/IP.

Tool Usage:

6. ipv6-toolkit
ipv6-toolkit is a set of IPv6 security assessment and troubleshooting tools. This tool has a wide range of features from packet-crafting tools to sending arbitrary Neighbor Discovery packets to the most comprehensive IPv6 network scanning tool.

7. mdk3
This tool is used to exploit common IEEE 802.11 protocol weaknesses.

8. Reaver
This tool implements a brute force attack against Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases.

9. rtpflood
A command line interface tool is used to flood any device that is processing RTP.

Tool Usage:

10. SlowHTTPTest
SlowHTTPTest helps in the simulation of Application Layer Denial of Service attacks.

11. t50
Multi-protocol packet injector tool which supports 15 protocols.

12. Termineter
This tool is a framework written in python to provide a platform for the security testing of smart meters. It implements the C12.18 and C12.19 protocols for communication.

Tool Usage:

13. THC-IPV6
A complete tool set to attack the inherent protocol weaknesses of IPV6 and ICMP6, and includes an easy-to-use packet factory library.

14. THC-SSL-DOS
This tool is used to verify the performance of SSL.

It is simple to use the Command Line Interface (CLI) software. It helps to identify the different types of hashes used to encrypt data and especially passwords.

You can use this tool by simply writing the below command:

#hash-identifier

Just type the hash value and this tool identify the type of hash used to encrypt.

Examples:

Hash: 8743b52063cd84097a65d1633f5c74f5
Type: MD5

Hash: b89eaac7e61417341b710b727768294d0e6a277b
Type: SHA-1

Hash: 7196759210defdc0
Type: MySQL323

Hash:7ca8eaaaa15eaa4c038b4c47b9313e92da827c06940e69947f85bc0fbef3eb8fd254da220ad9e208b6b28f6bb9be31dd760f1fdb26112d83f87d96b416a4d258
Type: Whirlpool

Hash:a4bd99e1e0aba51814e81388badb23ecc560312c4324b2018ea76393ea1caca9
Type: SHS-256
