Tor’s Hammer – Slow POST Denial of Service Testing Tool
Tor’s Hammer is a slow post dos testing tool written in Python. It can also be run through the Tor network to be anonymized. If you are going to run it with Tor it assumes you are running Tor on 127.0.0.1:9050. Kills most unprotected web servers running Apache and IIS via a single instance. Kills Apache 1.X and older IIS with ~128 threads, newer IIS and Apache 2.X with ~256 threads.
First Download torshammer script from here and save in your desktop
Now untar the file using tar xvf torshammer.tar
How to use Tor’s Hammer
You can start it with./torshammer.py
They already provide an example, but I will provide you another example simply for the context,
“./torshammer.py -t www.example.com -r 50000 “, the larger the thread count, the more efficient and effective the attack.
-t|–target <Hostname|IP>
-r|–threads <Number of threads> Defaults to 256
-p|–port <Web Server Port> Defaults to 80
-T|–tor Enable anonymising through tor on 127.0.0.1:9050
