It's poor man's traffic generator :)
that's the best kind :-) as long as it gets the job done and you get to control what it does
My test lab is i7 2600 with 2 port Intel X520 10GE and Intel Xeon E5 2604 witj 2 port Intel X520 10GE.
nice cpu hw trick questions for those thinking of generating ddos traffic for testing - ?? how much memory was needed to run the traffic generator i assume around 1GB of memory for 1gigE interface and i still can purposely run out of memory while some apps are running at 10gigE pci card, you'd probably want at least 12GB - 16GB of memory - some "poor mans apps" to generate traffic ... start w/ nping or hping # generate 1,000 Mbit/sec of junk .. floodig is trivial ... ping -i 0.001 -s 2000 victimIP# nping --data-length 2000 --rate 1000 victimIP# socat iperf ... # # generate udp or icmp or arp or tcp traffic # # add options to generate large-sized packets # add options to generate 10Gbit/sec ( number of packet/sec ) # # play around with tcp headers # add options to send MTU=1501 byte but NOT set DF # add options to send ACK but no request # # add options to spoof source and desitination address and ports # # if the host machine become un-available, you've got a problem # for host in gw dns ntp http smtp for protocol in arp icmp udp tcp nping --protocol [ options ] host.example.com # hping is nice too done done # for bonus arp fun ... attacker# arpspoof gateway victim attacker# arpspoof victim gateway # prevent mitm with: use hard coded arp "/etc/ethers" for linux use OpenSSL certs to flag a warning when "attacker" inserted itself in between gateway and un-aware victim pixie dust alvin - DDoS-Mitigator.net

I would like to recommend MoonGen for generating very high speed attacks (I have generated up to 56 mpps/40GE with it).
OK, I'll bite - what hardware were you using to inject that many packets?
