Usage

Overview

GoldenEye is a HTTP DoS Test Tool. This tool can be used to test if a site is susceptible to Deny of Service (DoS) attacks. Is possible to open several parallel connections against a URL to check if the web server can be compromised.

The program tests the security in networks and uses 'HTTP Keep Alive + NoCache' as attack vector.

Options

-u, --useragents

File with user-agents to use. Default: randomly generated. On Debian systems, there are lists of user-agents at /usr/share/goldeneye/useragents/ directory.

-w, --workers

Number of concurrent workers. Default: 10.

-s, --sockets

Number of concurrent sockets. Default: 500.

-m, --method

HTTP method to use. Values: 'get', 'post' and 'random'. Default: get.

-d, --debug

Notes

GoldenEye can create several concurrent workers and it can use all local resources. Choose good parameters to avoid local problems.
