I guess I need to clarify my original post. The servers "from where" we will be testing, i.e. loading the tools onto are all Windows servers - which is the primary reason for asking is there any Windows based DoS/DDoS tools. The network where we will be attacking is a mix of various OS.

You can do targetted link saturation, i.e. specify how much bandwidth you want to take up with a pseudo "attack", using WAN Killer, which should still be one of the tools in the SolarWinds Professional Plus and up toolsuites. See:

I believe you'll need a box running echo or chargen on the opposite end of the "attack".

Fully working 45-day eval copies are available for download from SolarWinds:

Not really a DoS on the particular service you might be looking at, but it's great for just inducing load, particulary to watch an IDS sensor drop packets and if / whether your attacks go un-noticed because. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Don
