The Tribe Flood Network or TFN is a set of computer programs to conduct various DDoS attacks such as ICMP flood, SYN flood, UDP flood and Smurf attack. First TFN initiated attacks are described in CERT Incident Note 99-04. TFN2K was written by Mixter, a security professional and hacker based in Germany.
BASHLITE is written in C, and designed to easily cross-compile to various computer architectures. [9]Exact capabilities differ between variants, but the most common features [9] generate several different types of DDoS attacks: it can hold open TCP connections, send a random string of junk characters to a TCP or a UDP port, or repeatedly send TCP packets with specified flags.
Nmap is a tool that can be used to discover services running on Internet connected systems. Like any tool, it could potentially be used for black hat hacking, [37] as a precursor to attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer systems.
[1] Stacheldraht uses a number of different denial-of-service (DoS) attack methods, including Ping flood, UDP flood, TCP SYN flood, and Smurf attack. Further, it can detect and automatically enable source address forgery. Adding encryption, it combines features of Trinoo and of Tribe Flood Network. The software runs on both Linux and Solaris. [1]
