How to bring down a server

Today we are gonna concentrate on how to bring down a server.Usually when you give too many request to a server or a site it tends to crash.(also known as ping)

Requirements : Any Ubuntu based Linux (ex. Linux mint, Ubuntu, etc etc.)
The first step is to install a program called "siege" this is a command line program.This Task is a pretty small one.
This program is actually used by administrator  to check the strength of their website
which essentially means we can also use it to overload the site and bring it down.

The simple steps for installation are

    Go to your terminal
    Type in sudo apt-get install siege
    Type your admin password
    It will install

NOW TO ACTUALLY PERFORM THE TASK..

    Go to your terminal
    Type siege -c20 <<website name>>  (example:  siege -c20 www.example.com)
    Press enter
    It will start the "battle"
    To stop the attack close the terminal ot press "ctrl+z"

Here  "-c" indicates how many concurrent users.. meaning how strong the attack should be.! (this depends on your computers processor (if you have single core then 200 is max, if you have a more powerful comp, then 5000,10000 etc etc)
