We are about to launch a important webservice. We must test it for DDoS. From other questions/answers here I learned about LOIC. Downloaded, tried, but my apache refuses it.

What other ready made tools are out there so I could CRITICALLY test our serwice?

Any good tutorials on how to do it via shell/bash?

LOIC is a joke, the only reason why it worked is because hundreds of thousands of people where running it. – Rook Mar 14 at 16:14

You can try tools like Seige, BoNSI from Backtrack, these are easy to use and "program name -help" should guide you. If you are looking something commercial then http://blitz.io is another option.
