DDoS Protection Testing with Mausezahn: A Technical Deep Dive One of my clients was a major bank, and we were experiencing significant memory and CPU issues with traditional tools like hping3 when trying to achieve desired traffic levels. Mausezahn (mz) stood out by not only avoiding these performance bottlenecks but also offering granular control over every packet detail. This capability allowed us to test DDoS protection systems effectively - we could craft packets that could legitimately traverse firewalls and DDoS protection mechanisms without being marked as zombie packets, ultimately achieving bandwidth saturation in our controlled testing environment....

Introduction Looking for a secure way to access your Raspberry Pi remotely without exposing your home network? Cloudflare Tunnel (formerly Argo Tunnel) provides a secure pathway to your Raspberry Pi without the need for port forwarding or exposing your IP address. This guide will walk you through the complete setup process. What is Cloudflare Tunnel? Cloudflare Tunnel creates a secure, outbound-only connection between your services and Cloudflare by deploying a lightweight daemon, cloudflared....

Introduction In our previous guide, we explored setting up Cloudflare Tunnel directly on a Raspberry Pi. This time, we’ll take it a step further by containerizing our setup using Docker and integrating Dynamic DNS for better maintainability and reliability. Architecture Overview The architecture consists of several key components: Docker containers providing isolated environments Cloudflared tunnel ensuring secure connectivity Dynamic DNS client tracking IP changes All services running on a Raspberry Pi Docker Compose Configuration Let’s start with our Docker Compose configuration:...
