HULK is a Python script, that generates randomly crafted, unique HTTP requests, generating a fair load on a web server, eventually exhausting it of resources. It uses various techniques to make the requests dynamic and thus more difficult to detect, such as randomising both User-Agent and Referer fields.

• Obfuscation of Source Client – this is done by using a list of known User Agents, and for every request that is constructed, the User Agent is a random value out of the known list
• Reference Forgery – the referrer that points at the request is obfuscated and points into either the host itself or some major pre-listed websites.
• Stickiness – using some standard HTTP command to try and ask the server to maintain open connections by using Keep-Alive with variable time window
• no-cache – this is a given, but by asking the HTTP server for no-cache , a server that is not behind a dedicated caching service will present a unique page.
• Unique Transformation of URL – to eliminate caching and other optimization tools, I crafted custom parameter names and values and they are randomized and attached to each request, rendering it to be Unique, causing the server to process the response on each event.
