What is an IP Stresser

What is an IP Stresser?
2

• To answer this question, we first need to
  understand its variations. This term comes from
  the original term of stresser,which is a tool
  designed to stress test networks.

3

• In order to run a successful internet business,
  or even just having a site, you, as
  administrator, must know your networks capacity
  of bandwidth or visitors.

4

• The average booter consists of two main
  categories Layer 4 and Layer 7 methods. In
  simple words, layer 4 methods are stress tests
  done directly on the IP while Layer 7 methods are
  mostly HTTP requests.

5

• When the stress testing industry was still new,
  it consisted of raw UDP stress tests and regular
  GET HTTP requests. Since then it developed a lot
  and now offers amplified stress tests which
  consist of UDP reflectors such as SSDP, DNS, NTP
  and more.

6

• Even the Layer 7 methods have developed since and
  now offer reflected stress tests using XMLRPC and
  Joomla services.

7

• In order to decide what is good ip stresser, we
  need to understand a few important factors. The
  first one is the bandwidth per stress tests which
  is measured by Gbps, or the requests per second
  (if its Layer 7).

8

• The higher the Gbps, the higher the input or
  power per stress test. Other factor is the
  stress time. A lot of booters offer high Gbps
  while the stress time is only a few minutes,
  which usually is not enough to test your network.

9

• The third factor is the stress testing methods.
  Its important that the ip stresser that you
  purchase will always be updated with the latest
  stress testing methods for high amplification
  rate.

• To these important factors there are still a few
  things that matter like uptime, support and the
  companys credibility on the market.

12

• The first time buying a booter, it can be
  confusing because of the parameters that are used
  in each stress test. The parameters are usually
  Host, Port, Time and Method. In order to
  understand how the stress test works in each
  booter, I will explain each paramter
  individually.

13

• Host would be your servers IP address, or if
  its a server using Layer 7 methods, it would be
  a full url of your website. Port is the targeted
  port on your server, default is 80 unless you
  would like to check a specific service running on
  a UDP port.

14

• Time is the seconds for the stress test to work
  and eventually method (the trickiest one) is the
  method in which the stress test would work. It
  may vary from raw udp to advanced amplification
  methods. Considering the booter is using
  amplification methods, the most basic one would
  be DNS which I would suggest for begginers.

15

• Eventually, choosing the right IP stresser for
  your work is not an easy task, but considering
  all listed parameters, it can be easier for you
  to compare between each booter in order to find
  the one the suits you the best. Still not sure? A
  good IP stresser would always provide support for
  new members.
