A free software toolkit for performing DoS/DDoS attacks and creating encrypted P2P networks.
UFONet is a free software toolkit that enables users to perform Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on web applications and networks. It exploits open redirect vulnerabilities on third-party sites to create botnets and abuses network protocols for Layer 3 attacks. The tool also functions as an encrypted DarkNET for secure P2P content sharing.
Security researchers, penetration testers, and cybersecurity professionals who need to test network resilience against DoS/DDoS attacks or explore P2P encrypted networks.
Developers choose UFONet for its comprehensive attack capabilities across multiple layers, integration of encrypted P2P networking, and its status as free, open-source software under GPLv3, providing transparency and customization for security testing.
UFONet - Denial of Service Toolkit
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports over 15 documented attack methods including LOIC, LORIS, and SYN floods, as listed with Wikipedia links in the README for diverse testing scenarios.
Functions as a DarkNET for secure content sharing via a direct-connect P2P architecture, adding cryptographic privacy to its toolkit.
Released under GPLv3, providing transparency, customization, and community-driven development for security researchers.
Performs attacks on both application (HTTP) and network layers, exploiting open redirects and abusing protocols for comprehensive testing.
Requires manual installation of multiple dependencies like libpython3.11-dev and specific Python packages, which can be error-prone and time-consuming.
Designed for offensive attacks, making it unsuitable for unauthorized use and raising significant legal concerns in many jurisdictions.
Focused solely on attack simulations and P2P networking, lacking integrated defensive tools or broader cybersecurity utilities for general use.
