Making DoS attack using veins - omnet++

Question

I am new to veins and I would like to make DoS attack using flooding technique. I have tried sending a message, that used in case of an accident, say, a million times by a specific car. Is this enough to make a DoS attack? Can I make this code more sophisticated?
void TraCIDemo11p::handlePositionUpdate(cObject* obj) {
BaseWaveApplLayer::handlePositionUpdate(obj);
if (externalID == "2"){ //2 is the attacker
for (int i = 0; i<1000000; i++)
sendMessage(mobility->getRoadId());
}
Note: I am using omnet 5.0, sumo-0.25.0 and veins-4.4, TraCIDemo11p.cc

Hi I did a DOS Attack using PingApp. I think you can refer to the source code of PingApp. The important part is to have the sendInterval be 0.0001s. Hope this helps!
