## What it is
Impulse is a Python-based denial-of-service toolkit that bundles multiple attack methods including SYN, UDP, ICMP, HTTP floods, Slowloris, NTP amplification, and SMS/email bombing. It provides an interactive menu for launching these attacks against phone numbers, email addresses, URLs, or IP:PORT targets.

## Use cases
- stress test my own server against ddos attacks
- run a syn flood from kali linux
- perform http flood load testing on a web server
- test network resilience with udp and icmp floods
- simulate slowloris attack to check web server connection limits
- flood sms and email for social engineering testing

## When to choose
- you need a single toolkit with many DoS attack methods in an interactive menu
- you are doing authorized penetration testing or security training on Kali Linux or Termux
- you want a quick way to stress-test your own infrastructure's resilience to floods

## When to avoid
- you need a legitimate load-testing tool with metrics and reporting - use k6, Locust, or hping3 instead
- you want to attack systems you do not own or have written authorization to test - this is illegal
- you need stealthy or evasive attack simulation for professional red-team engagements
