Dissertation - Proof of Concept Threats

[BigP94]

Good Afternoon, 

This is my first time using the Cisco community, however, I am developing multiple network systems within packet tracer. I have been asked to conduct a MITM (Man-in-the-middle) & DDoS (Distributed Denial of Services) attacks as proof of concept.

I was wondering if this is possible? if so, are there any variants that are better to use than others?

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Cheers!

Your friend is Kali Linux paired with something like GNS3/EveNG.

Scenarios:

- DHCP Spoofing (MITM) scenario and could forward traffic to the rogue host for analysis before forwarding on to legit router/gateway.

- DDOS on Kali is simple you could mimic a scenario of overloading a Web Service that is exposed on a host over the internet that could a crash/port exhausation like a TCP SYN attack. I've done that to my local broadband router before at home  which had a web service exposed, as it had no protection features like we would see with Cisco kit which often we use control plane policing & protection [CoPP] the router was overwelmed and would not pass any traffic.

@georgehewittuk1 thank you for your proposed solution. 

I have thought about that but after clarifying some more details this must be done inside of packet tracer if at all possible. 

Any Ideas?
