Hello,

Hack attempt is made in one of our server. The hacker used string "w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind" to continuously generate 400 Bad request to our server. He is capable of generating very large number of request in a short time from various IPs.

I have hardened apache for handling this error code. Now I want to verify the same, so can any one suggest me how to regenerate 400 Bad request to a server. It would be also helpful if any information about how to prevent these types of attacks.
