HULK - Web Server Denial of Service Tool

HULK is a web server denial of service tool written for research purposes. It is designed to generate volumes of unique and obfuscated traffic at a webserver, bypassing caching engines and therefore hitting the server's direct resource pool.

the main concept of HULK, is to generate Unique requests for each and every request generated, thus avoiding/bypassing caching engines and effecting directly on the server’s load itself.

Some Techniques
  • Obfuscation of Source Client – this is done by using a list of known User Agents, and for every request that is constructed, the User Agent is a random value out of the known list
  • Reference Forgery – the referer that points at the request is obfuscated and points into either the host itself or some major prelisted websites.
  • Stickiness – using some standard Http command to try and ask the server to maintain open connections by using Keep-Alive with variable time window
  • no-cache – this is a given, but by asking the HTTP server for no-cache , a server that is not behind a dedicated caching service will present a unique page.
  • Unique Transformation of URL – to eliminate caching and other optimization tools, I crafted custom parameter names and values and they are randomized and attached to each request, rendering it to be Unique, causing the server to process the response on each event.
