ACW802 - How to Simulate a DDoS Attack in Cybersecurity Lab - OperationShadowStrike P1

Описание: DDoS Attack Simulation in Cybersecurity Lab | Operation Shadow Strike Phase 1

Description:
In this in-depth lab walkthrough, we kick off Phase One of Operation Shadow Strike, a simulated Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) campaign designed to replicate real-world cyberattack scenarios. This episode focuses on launching a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against a fictional IT services provider, "GlobalTech", hosted in a controlled cybersecurity environment.

Learn how to set up, simulate, and monitor a full-scale DDoS event, giving you hands-on experience with offensive and defensive techniques essential to modern cybersecurity operations.

Here's what we cover in this video:
Deploying a decoy target using Apache2 on a Linux server
Cloning a real-world web project to simulate a client-facing service
Conducting reconnaissance from an external host
Simulating a DDoS attack to flood the server with traffic
Monitoring live packet data with Wireshark
Observing system performance impact using htop

This exercise provides insight into how denial-of-service attacks affect availability, how organizations can detect them, and why proper network visibility and system monitoring** are essential components of defense-in-depth.

Whether you're a SOC analyst, ethical hacker, red teamer, or student, this video gives you tactical knowledge on how to simulate and study DDoS behavior in a safe and isolated lab setting.

Make sure to subscribe and stay tuned for Part Two, where we explore Spear Phishing and Initial Access techniques as the APT campaign escalates.
