DDactic.net VS GitHub Hovercard

DDactic.net's answer

DDactic is the only platform that combines automated attack-surface discovery with multi-vector L3-L7 attack simulation from a fleet across 23+ cloud providers, and validates the customer's protection vendor configuration with stage-reprobe after each hardening change.

The Open Protection Index (OPI), Apache 2.0, gives customers a vendor-neutral 0-100 score they can benchmark over time. Most DDoS testing services run a single-vendor appointment-based simulation; DDactic runs continuous, multi-vendor, attacker-perspective testing.

DDactic.net's answer

Three reasons:

1. Real bot-detection bypass research, with 25 vendor fingerprints catalogued (PerimeterX, DataDome, Akamai BotManager, Cloudflare Challenge, etc.), so attacks are not blocked by trivial defenses and customers see what their CDN/WAF actually allows through.

2. Protection-group-aware testing that maps which subdomains share fate with which origin, exposing the shared-fate risk that most teams miss because they only think about their flagship asset.

3. Vendor-specific hardening playbooks (Cloudflare, AWS Shield, Imperva, Akamai, Radware) validated by stage-reprobe after the customer applies them, not generic recommendations from a paper questionnaire.

DDactic.net's answer

Security teams at companies that already pay for CDN/WAF protection (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva, AWS Shield, Radware) but have never validated whether the protection actually covers their full attack surface.

Typical buyer: CISO or VP of Security at mid- to large-sized enterprises in finance, gaming, e-commerce, healthcare, and government. Secondary audience: blue-team engineers and SRE teams running incident-response drills who need a controlled way to exercise their playbooks.

DDactic.net's answer

After 4 years in DDoS engineering, I (Stav David) noticed the same gap in every customer engagement: enterprises pay six- and seven-figure sums for DDoS protection (Cloudflare Magic Transit, Akamai Prolexic, Imperva, AWS Shield Advanced, Radware DefensePro) and almost nobody actually tests whether the protection holds.

The industry-standard alternative is a vendor-led "DDoS test" delivered as an appointment: 4 hours, scheduled weeks ahead, run from a single ASN against the production target. That misses the entire L7 surface, does not probe IP rotation, and gives no per-vector data.

DDactic was built to fix that, with continuous distributed simulation across 23+ cloud providers, per-vector attribution, and stage-reprobe validation after every hardening change. Founded in 2026, based in Tel Aviv.

DDactic.net's answer

Python/Flask backend on Dedibox bare-metal, TypeScript frontend on Cloudflare Pages, Go-based bot fleet orchestration across 23+ cloud providers, raw-socket + uTLS attack emitters for fingerprint-faithful testing, AWS Batch for ephemeral scan workers.
