hping3 -i u1 -S -p 80 [IP ADDRESS]

Use that for a SYN flood test. "man hping3" for a complete overview of the arguments and explanations.

EDIT: You can also use hping3 --faster -S [IP]

NOTE: Malicious use of SYN flooding is illegal. I am not condoning illegal activity; you mentioned about testing your server, which is fine.

thank you for your reply it was really good for sync attack simulation but what about if I want to request a page from web server not just sending sync request or database server or other services or ports?

Now you are being greedy... I went borderline almost crossing the rules and regulations of this forum already. Please read up on the man page for any other information.

You also need to mark your thread as solved.
