\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 DoSHTTP supports Windows 2000, XP, 2003 Server and Vista. DoSHTTP can be used to target any web server operating systems.
\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 Are there legitimate uses for DoSHTTP?
\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 DoSHTTP can help IT Professionals test web server performance and evaluate web server protection software.
\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 Can DoSHTTP be used simultaneously on multiple clients?
\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 With appropriate licensing, DoSHTTP can be used simultaneously on multiple clients to emulate a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 How do I start performing an HTTP Flood using DoSHTTP?
\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 Enter a Target URL and click on the Start Flood button.
\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 How do I stop performing an HTTP Flood using DoSHTTP?
\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 Click on the Stop Flood button.
\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 Can DoSHTTP be used with any type of internet connection?
\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 DoSHTTP can be used as long as there is an unblocked internet connection. However, greater performance can be achieved with higher bandwidth connections.
\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 How does DoSHTTP support HTTP Redirection?
\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 When a status code of 300, 301, 302, 303 or 307 is returned, DoSHTTP will redirect the attack to the new URL. This functionality can be disabled.
\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 How many sockets does DoSHTTP }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid2640164 2.5 }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 support?

\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 Why do I seem to lose internet connectivity when using DoSHTTP?
\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 You are using too many sockets for your bandwidth?
\par
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 What is the maximum number of requests DoSHTTP will issue?
\par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid3620693\charrsid3620693 DoSHTTP will not allow more than }{\f1\fs20\insrsid2640164\charrsid2640164 999}{\f1\fs20\insrsid2640164 ,}{\f1\fs20\insrsid2640164\charrsid2640164 999}{\f1\fs20\insrsid2640164 ,}{
