What is LoDDoS?
LoDDoS is a cloud-based DDoS Testing platform offered as software as a service (SaaS) model.
With LoDDoS, organizations can easily test the limits and capabilities of information technology infrastructures, DDoS mitigation systems/services, and incident response mechanisms without being exposed to a real malicious DDoS attack but by a self-initiated controlled one.
The tests defined on LoDDoS can be initiated with a single action, can be monitored live, can be stopped in a controlled manner, can be repeated as often as needed. Reports can be generated at the end of each test thus results can be shared with third parties.
At the end of each test, the DDoS Resiliency Score (DRS), which shows how resilient the target system is against the DDoS testing performed, is automatically calculated and mentioned in the report.
LoDDoS is a useful and effective DDoS testing platform for red and blue teams with various real life DDoS test types. Preparation stages that normally take a long time and require technical expertise in a manual DDoS test are carried out automatically by LoDDoS. Tests are carried out easily, DDoS mitigation systems/services, network and security devices, applications, incident detection, and response capabilities can be evaluated according to the test results.
LoDDoS Architecture
The LoDDoS basicly consists of 3 components:
- Command control center where the attacks are identified, managed, monitored and reported,
- The bot network performing the attacks,
- Display of target systems.
The command control center is managed via a web interface. There are different user roles for management, operation and monitoring, and the system is protected by a 3-step security authorization based on these users. The bot network runs on the cloud service provider and all bots are managed by the command control center. The number of bots in the bot network, the geographic location of the bots, the bandwidth created can be changed via the command control center according to the test scope. The monitoring types are also managed by the command control center.
