goldeneye.py

GoldenEye.py is a command line tool designed for network stress testing and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. It is named after the fictional spy agency in the James Bond series.

1. GoldenEye.py is written in Python and acts as a traffic generator to overwhelm a target network or server with multiple requests.
2. The tool uses various techniques, such as TCP, UDP, and HTTP flooding, to saturate the target's resources and make it unavailable for legitimate users.
3. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 network protocols, allowing it to target a wide range of systems.
4. GoldenEye.py provides options to customize attack parameters, such as the source IP address, headers, payloads, and attack duration.
5. The tool offers different attack modes, including a slow and stealthy mode for bypassing some basic protective measures.
6. GoldenEye.py can perform distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks by controlling multiple attacking hosts simultaneously.
7. It supports multi-threading, allowing it to generate a high volume of network traffic with minimal resources.
8. GoldenEye.py includes evasion techniques to confuse network security mechanisms and bypass detection.
9. It can be used by both security professionals for testing network defenses and by malicious actors for launching destructive attacks.
10. While GoldenEye.py can be a useful tool for legitimate purposes, it is crucial to handle it responsibly and legally, respecting proper ethical guidelines.
