A Python CLI exploit tool that finds exposed Memcached servers via the Shodan API and sends forged UDP packets to them to amplify DDoS attacks (the Memcrashed attack). It is a security research/offensive tool demonstrating UDP amplification abuse.

Use cases

• find vulnerable memcached servers with shodan
• demonstrate memcached udp amplification ddos
• test network defenses against reflection attacks
• reproduce the memcrashed ddos exploit
• study udp packet forgery with scapy

When to choose

• you are researching or demonstrating memcached amplification attacks
• you need a small python tool using shodan and scapy for security testing
• you want to verify your own infrastructure is not exploitable

When to avoid

• you want to attack systems you do not own - this is illegal
• you need a defensive mitigation tool rather than an offensive exploit
• you require a maintained project with a license and active development
