It's odd that they let you just test any website without proving its yours (by e.g. putting special file in the root or something). Can't unauthorized testing be considered a DoS attack?


I can only speak for http://blitz.io. We generate an account-specific UUID which becomes a URL that you need to make available on your app (adding a route in ruby/node.js or uploading a txt file). Before each load test we check that your UUID is available on the app. Even if your UUID is leaked, this is not a problem, since it's unique to your account. Unless of course, your Google/Facebook account gets compromised. We currently, do not support password logins. It's either OAuth/FB Connect or SSO through our partners.
