    Simulate SYN attack

    I apologize in advance if I don't truly understand the question.
    When sending a SYN flood attack the point of it to attempt to create as many half open connections on the victim as possible. This leaves each of the half open connections in the SYN-RECVD state temporarily utilizing resources.

    However, it appears that you are not sending your SYN flood properly by not spoofing the attackers source IP. When your attacking machine receives the SYN/ACK it will immediately send a reset packet shutting down that socket and negating any flood attempts. However I am not familiar wit the behavior of the Windows Firewall. If you spoof the source address to an unused IP the RST will not get sent and each SYN/ACK being sent by the victim will go into exponential back off dramatically upping the effectiveness of the attack. (please use an IP in private space so the SYN/ACKs aren't reflecting back at something on the internet)

    Ok, next up is the fact that you are replaying the same packet with the same 4-tuple and the same initial sequence number. You need each SYN to be unique to be effective. I would strongly suggest you use any Linux distro and the application "hping3". You should be able to get the results you want. Also consider that ping uses ICMP and may not be a good test of server delay since it is considerably different process in how the server responds. May I suggest nmap or even hping3 again for testing the servers TCP response.

    Governments Take On Google Over User Monitoring

    Governments sell citizens' info to private businesses everywhere, Norway-thru-China.

    • Government/the state: Has guns, jails, and the ability to hang you. It knows all about you, And it gets to sell your info to third parties, if they lobby well enough with the politicians, without necessarily paying a dime to the national exchequer.
    • Google: Lacks guns and nukes, it sells your info to third parties. But You opted to use it voluntarily.
    When you live in Portugal, you conform to the Portuguese constitution. When you use Google's free services, you conform to its policies. What part of that sounds "unfair"?
