I am trying to simulate a SYN attack for an essay I am doing and gather some results (time taken for computer to respond to some message), but nothing seems to happen when I try this method.
I use WAMP server to host a basic server on the victim PC using a local router with no internet access, completely disable all firewalls on the router and the PC, and then access the web page that is hosted by the victim PC on the attacker PC in order to capture a legitimate SYN packet using wireshark.
I then copy the hexadecimal for the legitimate SYN packet into colasoft packet builder, and change the source port to 1444, and then create a new rule for windows firewall to block all inbound connections on that port, so that the SYN, ACK is not responded to in any way.
I then ping the victim PC from the attacker PC procedurally to check for a reply delay and loop send the now malicious SYN packet to the victim PC, but there is no delay in response except from the occasional spike which is to be expected.
My question is what am I doing wrong, or is there a better way of simulating a SYN attack than this on windows? (as a sidenote, I tried to use hping, but could not get this to work at all.)
Thanks!
