RADVIEW SOFTWARE INTRODUCES REAL-WORLD AND SIMULATED
DDoS TESTING FOR WEB APPLICATIONS
Burlington, MA, June 7, 2004 - RadView™ Software Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDVW), a
leading provider of solutions for verifying the performance, scalability and
integrity of business-critical Web applications announces software to test the
resistance and resiliency of a Web application under DDoS (Distributed Denial
of Service) attack. A DDoS attack is a destructive assault intended to cripple
or crash a Web application and its infrastructure. RadView's WebLOAD for DDoS
provides a comprehensive and a real-world view of a Web application's response
to an attack through the use of actual attack tools and known code. The
software simulates real-world traffic under attack and collects application
performance and response metrics to ensure Web applications can withstand a
DDoS attack.
To effectively guard against DDoS assaults it is essential to understand how an
application and infrastructure will perform when attacked. With WebLOAD for
DDoS testers learn what attack will compromise which service and how
availability to the end user and response times will be affected.
"A recent University of California at San Diego study estimates the number of
DDoS attacks exceed 2,000 per week, and they are aimed at all sizes and types
of firms," said Omri Reuter, Vice President of Product Development, RadView
Software, Inc. "Web sites not tested from a DDoS attack risk losing millions of
dollars of revenue and extensive system damage. Since DDoS attacks are readily
available to anyone on the Internet, this is a real and growing threat."
The DDoS tests are easily managed through TestView, RadView's new integrated
and comprehensive Web testing suite. TestView fully integrates functional
testing, load/scalability testing and test management in one single user
interface. TestView's ability to define, schedule, execute, and report
sophisticated test scripts from one central location provides the QA and test
organization with a great advantage.
WebLOAD for DDoS is designed for use in pre-production and production
environments and comes bundled with a set of comprehensive real-world packet
flood DDoS attacks including Tfn, Tfn2K, Trinoo, Smurf, Flitz, and more. Users
can also simulate various packet-flooding scenarios. This enables the creation
of packet floods based on the generic methods used by the following various
attacks: TCP Flood (SYN, ACK, etc.), and UDP Flood, for example.
WebLOAD for DDoS is available today and pricing is dependent upon the
configuration. The product supports Apache, IIS and J2EE-based application
servers (BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Apache Tomcat, and JBoss), DB2, Oracle,
SQL database servers as well as the Sun Solaris, IBM, AIX, Microsoft Windows
and Linux RedHAT 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0 and Advanced Server 2.1 and 3.0 operating
systems.
