Denial of Service (DOS) Testing: Sample Test PlansDenial of Service (DoS) attacks are a reality for most organizations with connections to the public Internet. In order toprotect yourselves from the potential hazards of network hackers and malicious coders, a set of devices and softwarebasedtools such as DUTs, intrusion detection systems (IDS), remote access solutions (VPN) and sophisticated routers andL4-7 application switches have been developed to effectively block malicious traffic and protect the organization’s dataand information infrastructure.Leveraging the advanced functionality of Ixia hardware, IxChariot is now capable of generating line-rate traffic thatemulates common DoS attack types while at the same time generating and measuring the performance of applicationtraffic (VoIP, Internet, enterprise) that is being sent over the network.This test primer outlines how IxChariot software can be used on an Ixia platform to:• assess the impact of DoS traffic on existing network traffic• measure the performance of devices responsible for denying DoS traffic network access• determine the performance of network devices that are being attacked (e.g. servers, routers, WLAN access points)Overview of Denial ofService functionality inIxChariotT he test cases for IxChariot’s integratedDoS/application traffic emulation can besplit into two principal groups:• generating DoS/application trafficbetween two Ixia ports and measuringthe performance of the overall network• directing DoS traffic against aspecific device (e.g. firewall) whilegenerating and measuring theperformance of application traffic beingsent between two IxChariot PerformanceEndpointsIn each case, performance measurementsneed to be taken with both DoS filtering/blocking solutions being enabled as well asdisabled.
