For a networking class, I want to do a presentation and project on DDoS attacks. I have been researching them for a while and am interested in conducting a small scale attack against a victim server with no security (I'll most likely set this up using nginx or apache) running on a Raspberry Pi. I want to run a demo of this happening in class - first with no security, and then a few other times - each time adding another layer of security.
Does anyone have an idea how much traffic I would need in order to take this down? Also what would be the best way to generate this traffic? I'm not sure if this part is even possible as I don't have access to a lot of computers...I do have a mac pro with 24GB of ram so I have been considering running several virtual boxes with that.
Thanks for the help!
I was able to get it working locally using nginx on the Pi and LOIC.

So in my school they installed a new router (Zylex) and I guess they're still configuring it because it doesn't let you enter almost any website from Google, although you can do google search. Also you can access most sites using Firefox (do you know why?), but I don't know any good VPN for Firefox.
I've tried using some google VPNs but they are all blocked, also I've tried using Windscribe but it says that the SSL requests are being intercepted. Why would they do that?
Is there a way that I can evade the firewall?
Thanks in advance.

This is not a coding question but I can't find a clear answer anywhere so I thought the stackoverflow community will know. Let's say, I'm currently using computer A and running Remote Desktop on Windows to access computer B. From computer B, I sign in to a website. Would the admin for that website be able to tell I was on computer A when I signed in? Or can they only pick up my computer B IP address? I don't know much about networking and remote desktop so any help is appreciated.
Your IP will be of computer B. You can think of Remote Desktop as a TV (with which you can interact) - the images from the remote computer are transmitted to your computer, but all actions still happen on the remote computer.

I am just trying to learn MongoDB. I followed this walktrough to install it:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/
Here is my screenshot for mongod.exe:
And here isthe screenshot of mongo.exe:
It seems everything is fine to me. Am I wrong?
During my googlings I decided that MongoVue is a good management application for MongoDB by a cool user interface. So I downloaded and installed it. Here is the screen I see when I opened it:
How do I have to fill these fields to create a connection from MongoVue to MongoDB? Do I have to do something else before that?
Assuming you haven't configured authentication within MongoDB, just give the connection a name and fill in the IP address of the server (127.0.0.1 if it's local):
Click Test to test out the settings and then Save to create the connection. Then click Connect on the parent dialog to actually connect to the server.
Caution
MongoVUE doesn't work with 3.x MongoDB servers and hasn't been updated in almost two years. See here for alternatives.

I have tried many hosting services and they all have the downtime problem. Now, i am well aware that downtime is inevitable and will happend eventually, but i have been wandering if a website can be hosted in multiple hostings to solve this problem. For example, i have my website in one hosting company and if for any reason my site goes down in that site, my domain name can redirect to the alternative hosting company.
Is that posible? and if so, how can it be done?
I will greatly apreciate any help.
It's difficult to have 100% uptime guaranteed, but having multiple servers spread across multiple providers can get you close.
The trick is letting your DNS know which IP to serve your site from. My DNS provider has a failover system that monitors my sites; if it detects any downtime, it automatically serves up a secondary IP address for requests to my domain.
Of course, this requires having an infrastructure in place to ensure the content is synced across multiple servers but if you're in the game for a failover system like this I'm guessing you've already got something like that in place.

I have a requirement of streaming millions of videos on demand. I read that CDN are the best option for that. But i recently came to know about IIS Smooth Streaming. Can anybody tell me, will IIS Smooth Streaming perform same as a CDN in streaming millions of files or does it has its own limitations (and is not a good option).
Thanks in advance.
IIS smooth streaming cannot ever come close to CDN. A CDN is a large distributed system of servers deployed in multiple data centers across the world, and the CDN takes the responsibility of sending the users the the nearest physical server when a request comes.
To stream millikns of videos on demand, CDN is your only hope !
