Platform details

Engarde DDoS is a cloud DDoS testing and simulation service for enterprise teams. Run controlled tests with realistic attack traffic across all major DDoS attack types — Layer 4 TCP/UDP floods, HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, and ICMP — measure performance under load, and validate mitigation without lasting production impact. Optional managed runs with operator assistance.

Engarde enables deep analysis of system performance, security posture, and weak points. This allows you to build infrastructure that is more resilient, scalable, and secure against potential attacks.

Engarde Test Platform

Engarde is a cloud-delivered test and simulation platform. With its user-friendly interface, tests can be run 24/7 either directly by users or with assistance from an Engarde operator.

After test parameters are entered, Engarde becomes ready in a short time. During execution, users can follow parameter changes in real time. With the "End test" button, tests can be stopped instantly and generated traffic impact is removed from the target system. A detailed test report is provided at the end. Users can save tests and replay them later for comparison.

How Engarde works

In the Engarde DDoS interface, you enter target address and test parameters; realistic traffic is generated via distributed nodes. You can monitor in real time through Dashboard, Attack Monitor, and Target Monitor, then access detailed reports after completion.

Features

  • Usage: Operator-assisted or self-service usage; 24/7 access.
  • Real-time monitoring: bytes, packets, concurrent users, latency, response time; HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP, ICMP metrics.
  • End test: stop generated traffic with one click; detailed report after completion.
  • Reports and history: test reports and access to saved tests.

Engarde DDoS interface

You can manage the full test lifecycle from one screen with Dashboard, node management, Attack Monitor, Target Monitor, and reports.

  • Dashboard and real-time monitoring
  • Node management and regions
  • Attack Monitor and Target Monitor
  • Reports and action logs

Attack types

Engarde DDoS supports the types of DDoS attacks teams use in professional simulation and stress testing: application-layer HTTP/HTTPS floods, transport-layer TCP/UDP (Layer 4), network ICMP, and DNS query floods — plus latency analysis. Configure target, duration, and intensity from the interface; monitor live and follow up with reports.

HTTP / HTTPS

Web sunucuları, API ve CDN’lerin okuma/yazma yoğunluğuna dayanıklılığını test eder. WAF, rate limit, TLS/SSL yükü ve önbellek davranışını gözlemleyebilirsiniz.

Example targets: Websites, REST/GraphQL APIs, CDN endpoints

  • GET - Page/API read-heavy traffic; cache and server capacity validation
  • POST - Form/API write-heavy traffic; backend resilience validation
  • PUT - Update-focused traffic; REST API validation
  • PATCH - Partial-update traffic patterns
  • DELETE - Delete-focused traffic; authorization and rate-limit validation
  • RANDOMGET - Random URL/parameter variations; cache-bypass scenarios
  • HTTP/S - TLS handshake + HTTP method (GET/POST/…); SSL termination load
  • HTTP/S POST - TLS + POST body; WAF and write-path resilience
  • HTTP/S PUT - TLS + full resource update (PUT)
  • HTTP/S PATCH - TLS + partial update (PATCH)
  • HTTP/S DELETE - TLS + DELETE method; authorization and audit path validation
  • GET vs HTTP/S - Düz GET ile TLS’li HTTP/S karşılaştırması; SSL yükünü izole etme

TCP

Taşıma katmanında flag tabanlı flood’lar. SYN dışında ACK, FIN, RST, PSH ve kombine/geçersiz flag senaryoları firewall, load balancer ve state tablolarını test eder.

Example targets: Server ports, load balancer VIPs, scrubbing centers

  • SYN - Handshake flood; half-open connection tables
  • Invalid SYN - Malformed-header SYN (invalid_flag); filter and parser validation
  • ACK - ACK flood; session tracking load on stateful devices
  • Invalid flags - Invalid ACK/FIN/RST/PSH/PSH-ACK preset’leri
  • FIN - Connection teardown flood; resource consumption
  • RST - Reset flood; disrupting established sessions
  • PSH - Push-flag flood; per-packet processing load
  • PSH-ACK - Combined-flag flood; filter rule validation
  • Xmas - FIN+PSH+URG (FPU) Xmas-style flood
  • ALL TCP Flags - FPU flag preset; parser stress test
  • Exotic combos - URG and multi-flag preset library (30+)
  • ACK-SYN - ACK+SYN combo (AS preset); handshake state validation
  • URG - Urgent pointer flag and URG-heavy combos
  • APRSF - ACK+PSH+RST+SYN+FIN five-flag combo preset
  • UAPRSF - Six-flag combo with URG — maximum parser stress
  • RST-SYN - RST+SYN combo (RS preset); contradictory state signals
  • Flag anomaly - General invalid / rare TCP flag guide
  • Carpet bombing - SYN variant spread across a wide target surface
  • TCPM - Multi-source (multi-node) TCP flood

UDP

Connectionless UDP datagram floods and multi-source variants. Tests PPS/bandwidth limits for gaming, VoIP, DNS, and custom UDP services.

Example targets: Game servers, VoIP, streaming, custom ports

  • UDP - Standard UDP datagram flood
  • UDPM - Çok kaynaklı UDP flood (dağıtık node’lar)
  • TCP-UDPM - Mixed TCP + UDP multi-source flood
  • Combined test - Merge multiple vectors in one run (combined_id)

ICMP

Tests infrastructure and filtering rules with ping/echo-based traffic. Observe router, firewall, and upstream provider limits.

Example targets: Server IPs, network gateways

DNS

DNS

Tests resolver/server capacity and resilience under query-heavy traffic. Validate defenses against NXDOMAIN and high-QPS scenarios.

Example targets: Authoritative DNS, resolvers, internal DNS servers

Target, duration, intensity, and other parameters are entered from the interface; use Attack Monitor and Target Monitor for real-time visibility. Deep dives with packet-flow diagrams: Attack Types knowledge base.
