These tools are all Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack tools that coordinate large numbers of systems (bots) to flood target networks or services:
Trinoo – UDP flood-based DDoS tool
TFN2k (Tribe Flood Network 2000) – Supports ICMP, SYN, and other attack types
WinTrinoo – Windows variant of Trinoo
Stacheldraht – Combines features of Trinoo and TFN with encryption and auto-updating
T-Sight – DDoS control tool
From CEH v13 Official Courseware:
Module 9: Denial-of-Service Attacks
CEH v13 Study Guide states:
“These tools are classic examples of distributed DoS platforms used by attackers to launch coordinated flood attacks using compromised hosts.”
Incorrect Options:
A: Not all tools were developed by the same group.
B: Not typically used by defenders.
D/E: These tools are cross-platform (some run on Linux, others on Windows).
