It is available in kali linux by default it is one of DOS attack software, ddos stand for distributed denial of service attack. You can launch and stop dos attack, whenever you want.

Run the following command to do that: sudo hping3 -S -p 443 -c 3 Įxample output: HPING (ens33 216.58.209.14): S set, 40 headers + 0 data bytes

Let's say we want to check whether port 443 is open and calculate the round-trip time (RTT). When installation is finished, we can check hping3 version: hping3 -version Testing hping3 Next, run the following command to install hping3: sudo apt install -y hping3

Update the package lists: sudo apt update
