## Features
- **Flooding Techniques**: Implementations of various flooding techniques including DNS, HTTP, UDP, TCP SYN, and Ping of Death.
- **Educational Purpose**: Designed to help users understand how flooding attacks work and the importance of network security.
- **Easy to Use**: Simple scripts that can be run with minimal setup.
## Scripts Overview
Here’s a brief overview of the scripts included in this repository:
1. **Flood-DNS.py**: Sends a continuous stream of DNS requests to a specified target, simulating a DNS flood attack.
2. **Flood-HTTP.py**: Establishes TCP connections to a target and sends HTTP GET requests in a loop, simulating an HTTP flood attack.
3. **Flood-UDP.py**: Generates random UDP packets and sends them to a target, simulating a UDP flood attack.
4. **Ping-of-Death.py**: Sends oversized ping packets to a target, demonstrating the classic Ping of Death attack.
5. **TCP-SYN.py**: Sends SYN packets to a target, simulating a SYN flood attack, which is a common method used to overwhelm a server.
## Installation
To get started with Fix-Flooder, follow these steps:
1. **Clone the repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/TheLeopard65/Fix-Flooder.git
cd Fix-Flooder
```
2. **Install required libraries**:
Make sure you have Python installed. You may need to install the `scapy` library for some scripts:
```bash
pip install scapy
```
## Usage
To run any of the scripts, simply execute them with Python. For example:
```bash
python Flood-DNS.py
```
**Note**: Make sure to replace the target IP address in the scripts with the desired target. Running these scripts against unauthorized targets is illegal and unethical.
