DDoS Traffic Simulator & Bandwidth Visualizer – Interactive SVG Tool
DDoS Traffic Simulator & Bandwidth Visualizer is a free, fully client-side tool that lets you model a volumetric distributed-denial-of-service attack without sending a single packet across the wire. 🔥
Why You’ll Love It
- Instant Visual Insight – Watch animated traffic beams slam into your virtual server and see the bandwidth graph spike in real time.
- No Backend Required – Runs entirely in your browser; nothing is logged or transmitted.
- Dark-Mode Ready – One click toggles between light ☀️ and dark 🌙 – your preference is remembered.
- Decision-Making Power – Quickly answer questions like “How many 512-byte packets at 400 pps from 5 000 bots saturate a 10 Gbps link?”
How to Use
- Open the tool here: DDoS Traffic Simulator.
- Move the sliders or enter numeric values for Botnet Size, Packets per Bot per Second, and Packet Size.
- Observe the rolling Mbps chart and the live total PPS counter.
- Switch themes via the moon/sun button in the corner.
Planning a layered defense? Compare how latency behaves with the Packet Delay Animator or validate ACL changes in the Firewall Rule Simulator.
Behind the Scenes
The simulator uses SVG for node and packet visualization, requestAnimationFrame for silky animations, Canvas for a lightweight bandwidth chart, and localStorage to persist user preferences. Everything is wrapped in semantic HTML with descriptive alt and aria attributes for accessibility and SEO.
