How to use AnDoSid DDoS Tool for testing your Network on your Android smartphone

If you are a hacker or a pentester, you may be familiar with AnDoSid which is a popular DDoS tool to conduct network stress tests.

For the uninitiated, AnDoSid is an Android hacking tool developed by Scott Herbert to conduct network stress tests.

In simple words, you can use this App to conduct stress tests of your network by launching DDoS attacks from your Android smartphone.

DOS or denial of service attack is a very dangerous attack because it takes down the server (computer).

AnDOSid is a tool designed only for security professionals to let them carry out a DOS attack (HTTP post-flood attack to be precise).

It is used to perform a DOS attack on websites or web servers using the Android smartphone.

Note that this tutorial is for self-network stress tests and should not be used against websites. AnDOSid is so powerful, that you can even use it to take down web servers. This kind of activity is illegal in almost all the countries so using it to launch DDoS attacks can land you in jail.
