## What it is
A Python 3 command-line script for performing DDoS (denial-of-service) flood attacks against target servers. It is a simple offensive security testing tool popular on GitHub.

## Use cases
- stress test my own server against flood attacks
- run a dos attack script in python
- load test a server with high request volume
- learn how ddos tools work
- test firewall resilience to request floods

## When to choose
- you need a minimal, dependency-light Python script for basic DoS stress testing
- you want a simple educational example of flood attack tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a legitimate load-testing tool with metrics and reporting (use k6, Locust, or JMeter instead)
- you require a maintained, licensed project — it has no license and minimal documentation
- any use against systems you do not own or have authorization to test, which is illegal

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: penetration-testing, networking, security
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: ddos, stress-testing, python-script, dos, linux
