Well these days I would use http://www.openvas.org and http://www.metasploit.org for vulnerability scanning and analysis.
However that wouldn't be a DDoS, but could certainly lead to DOS.
If you can get your hands on a PCAP from a previous attack, you could also use something like Bit-Twist which will allow you to manipulate things like the destination IP and also the transmission rate, etc. Pretty useful tool to include in the DDoS simulation toolbox. http://bittwist.sourceforge.net/ Stefan Fouant, CISSP, JNCIE-M/T www.shortestpathfirst.net GPG Key ID: 0xB5E3803D
