School project: Packet Reflection


Hello everyone,

I have a school project due at the end of this week. I'm trying to find programs that can perform/handle packet reflection. I have to use this software in conjunction with our student web pages and my dorm computer.

This is very urgent, please help!
Thank You

Further... you'll need to define what you mean by packet reflection and you have better not be asking for programs that will perform a DOS attack.

He was actually referring to a DRDOS attack - check it out here. In short, packet reflection is done by modifying the headers of packets (VERY large amounts) to make it look like it was coming from a different server. You then send that modified SYN packet to the destination, and when it returns with a SYN-ACK, it will respond to the server that the packet instructed it to (hence the modification).

IE: If I wanted to use my computer to bounce a packet from say, linuxquestions.org to your computer, I would modify the packets leaving my computer, to point to your IP address. LQ would recieve said packets, and, thinking it came from your computer, return a SYN-ACK packet to your computer.
