SSL stress testing tool THC-SSL-DOS
SSL stress testing tool THC-SSL-DOS
SSL is widely used in the field of security encryption and authentication, such as HTTPS, POP and other services. Using SSL will add to the burden on the server. For example, during the negotiation phase, the CPU overhead of the server is 15 times that of the client. Kali Linux provides THC-SSL-DOS, a stress testing tool for SSL. By default, the tool establishes 400 SSL connections with the server and quickly renegotiates the Renegotiations in order to consume a large amount of server CPU resources. Currently, the tool is only for servers that enable the renegotiation feature, so as long as the feature is turned off, you can resist the attack of the tool.
