# Network stress tester (Denial Of Service)

## Prerequisites:

Install the required modules with:

```

$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

```

## Usage:

```

$ python3 dos.py [options] | [ <# of threads> [flags]]

```

#### Flags:

* `-v, --verbose`: verbose output.

* `-p, --python`: use python's requests module instead of `curl`.

This is much slower and more error prone at high thread counts. Only use this option if you do not have `curl`.

#### Options:

* `-h, --help`: prints help message.

* `-V, --version`: prints version information.

* `-l, --legal`: prints legal information.

Press enter to stop, and kill all child threads.

For effective results on a single, relatively low-power server, a few thousand threads will do.

Target web pages that include back-end processing for best results.
