About XaviFortes/Python-UDP-Flood
This is a basic denial-of-service tool written in Python that floods a target with UDP and TCP packets. The script allows a user to specify a target address and then sends continuous network traffic to overwhelm and crash the target service. The author notes it could theoretically be scaled into a distributed denial-of-service attack by running it across multiple computers, though they disclaim responsibility for misuse.
The project includes a simple Python script called udpflood.py that works on both Linux and Windows systems. On Linux, users can run an installation script (rundos.sh) to set up the tool, while Windows users need to manually install Python 3 and execute the script through PowerShell or command prompt. The repository also provides an optional auto-update bash script for users who want to keep the tool updated.
This is an educational or proof-of-concept project demonstrating network attack techniques at a very basic level, intended for those learning about cybersecurity vulnerabilities rather than for legitimate defensive or operational purposes.
