Using java 1.6.14 with jboss 4.3 ( i think server does not matter ) -

what i want : a java or php script - that directly calls it self or a new java process (the new process will start a class based on your code too)
to make connections to the server that ask it to make a new SSL session, this increasing the RAM used by the JVM and crashing it eventually


Do not want a simple DOS attack. Each hit of this kind should increase the memory used by the JVM by a MB
So if the server has a max of 1GB, in about 800 or so hits it should max out. thanks

i tried making a simple ssl connection using :
1. URL
2. Socket
3. apache http client

but no go - ran it all night from 2 desktops hitting the server every second and memory is fine.

changing program to call a process - maybe if its a new jvm a new session is made. but out of ideas after that! any help will be appreciated. (looked at owasp and googled but did not find any thing like a test program to re create)

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security:Renegotiation has some background information

i guess the code to re negotiate is there in firefox - i need help for someone to identify a utility that can do that on demand!

So.... you are asking for help here, because you want something much better than just a simple denial of serivce attack? Are you serious?
