This looks interesting, I might try attacking my own nodes with it. Out of curiosity have you done anything to make the packets more "real looking" than hping3? I ask because dropping floods from hping3 can be done with a single iptables rule as they do not set options in the header that would make the syn packets appear to be legit. MSS being the most obvious

Have you also tried taking the reverse challenge a.k.a. blue team and defend against your own tool? What methods would you use if someone were using this against servers you wanted to stay up? e.g. CDN? IP stack hardening? eBPF rules?
