LoDDoS, ELEVATE INSIGHTS
WHAT IS LoDDoS
LoDDoS is a comprehensive and powerful DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) and Load Testing simulation service delivered over the cloud. It is a specialized cutting-edge automated platform that employs thorough testing methodologies and sophisticated simulation technologies. It composes artificial DDoS attacks with real-world parameters to evaluate the resilience of services and web applications exposed to high internet traffic. The primary goal of LoDDoS is to generate invaluable insights into your organization’s cyber resiliency. Thus, you would elevate your control over your organization’s cyber resiliency. Even more, LoDDoS also furnishes you with an actionable plan to prepare your organization to confront the most rigorous DDoS attacks.
These tests are perfect for organizations that want to test the limits, capabilities, and effectiveness of their existing line of defense before an actual DDoS attack takes place.
When it comes to executing, an operator supervises the entire test as defined on LoDDoS. Any third party can also be a part of this test as long as the organization authorizes it. The operator launches the test with a single touch of a button, monitors it live, controls it in a breeze, pauses in a moment, stops promptly with one click again when necessary, repeats as long as needed and the results are easily comparable. After the test, LoDDoS generates the reports quickly and automatically. If necessary, you can share them with third parties and also save them for future evaluations.
Moreover, to make the organization’s limitations better visible, LoDDoS directs a high number of requests to the web applications through its Load Test feature. This part of the Load Test can visualize the analysis of the actual outcomes of such a heavy load before it hits.
LoDDoS is not only a testing. It also focuses on enhancing your incident response plans and bolstering staff preparedness. Thus, through the simulation of attack scenarios, we prepare your team to respond effectively and confidently to real-world emergencies.
As your standing-out premier partner for DDoS preparedness and simulation, securing your connectivity and ensuring business continuity is our primary goal. We equip you today to tackle the cyber challenges of the future.
WHY WE NEED TESTS
DDoS and Load Tests are indispensable for assessing the resiliency of organizations against the real DDoS attacks that can come across everywhere at any time in today’s cyberspace. Those attacks can cause prominent consequences such as financial losses, data leakages, reputational detriments, and customer discontent.
When a DDoS attack strikes, the first two critical steps are to detect it quickly and respond to it effectively. The more experienced the organization is, the more faster and efficient the response can be.
The DDoS and Load Tests are the only practical way that can help organizations prepare for DDoS attacks. It not only helps you get more insights but also provides you with more control over strengthening your security posture.
The reports of such tests are priceless to assess the strengths and weaknesses of policies, architecture, and configurations as well as to evaluate the vulnerabilities, review the boundaries of the existing defense layers, understand the bottlenecks, see the effectiveness of the business continuity plans, increase customer satisfaction, decrease the downtimes to save the costs, validate and improve efficiency, and measure and boost the capabilities of the response policy.
Those tests can be considered as a part of the security lifecycle. As an initial step, the baselines and thresholds, as well as the regular and abnormal network traffic in the organization need to be determined.
The preventive measures against DDoS attacks can never be plug-and-play. So, the test reports can be evaluated to implement better corrective measures. To stay compliant, and be always as prepared as possible, these tests should be repeated in some predetermined intervals.

HOW WE CONDUCT THE TESTS
Our approach at LoDDoS to conducting DDoS and Load Test simulations is firmly anchored in ethical principles. It also demonstrates a strong commitment to security. We require explicit consent through a detailed written agreement from our esteemed clients before commencing any simulation. This essential procedure fosters mutual trust and provides a clear understanding of the scope and limitations of the simulation activities.
The technical framework of our simulations is built on dedicated servers and a wide-ranging network of agents located worldwide. Indeed, this strategic deployment is crucial for generating realistic traffic patterns and attack scenarios. Furthermore, it is also necessary to resolve the ethical and legal concerns related to using the compromised hosts unquestionably. On the other hand, the decision to employ dedicated resources highlights our commitment to ensuring both the effectiveness and the integrity of our simulations.
It is important to realize that our simulations extend beyond mere testing. After all, they provide invaluable insights into your cyber resilience and help to strengthen it. The process of developing these simulations begins with careful and scrutinized collaborative planning. It requires the mutual participation of stakeholders of our clients and the LoDDoS experts team. Unquestionably, this process is crucial for establishing clear objectives, recognizing potential vulnerabilities, and formulating a precise timeline for the simulations. Such thorough planning guarantees that each simulation is customized to meet the specific challenges and needs of each client’s infrastructure.
COMPREHENSIVE TEST SECURITY
To prevent misuse of the LoDDoS platform, we will be implementing precautionary measures before running tests.
Contingent upon the type of tests, we require accurate target information about your organization. This includes the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), URL, IP address, attack types, and bandwidth. This information is essential to ensure the effectiveness, safety, and security of the tests.
Furthermore, we also require our customers to verify and prove that the provided target information belongs to them before any tests can commence.
We take security seriously, and we have various immediate measures in place to intervene as needed before, during, and after the tests. Some of these measures are outlined below.
Two-Factor Security
The execution of a DDoS test requires the consent of both the operator (the tester) and the customer (the one being tested). This guarantees that the test is exclusively conducted for the party who is interested in taking it.
Kill Switch
The tests can easily be halted with a single touch when needed. If unforeseen circumstances arise, the tests can be intentionally stopped and resumed at any point.
Attack Auto Time-Out
The attack vectors used in the execution of the test will stop automatically once the duration time has matured. Suppose a connection problem occurs between the Control and Command Center and the LoDDoS Management System. In that case, our botnet can terminate each attack vector by itself without requiring any operator intervention or execution of any commands.
Instant Cloud Access
The operator has direct access to the cloud in the event of a network failure.
