Then flag it on the other site as off topic and indicate that it would be better served by this site – Karlson Feb 13 '12 at 2:18
It's been closed by the moderators there as off-topic. They didn't explain why they consider it off-topic - due to its' research nature, due to being a Linux question, or what? Their FAQ doesn't state that questions can't be about Linux - I didn't notice this site before. – nlovric Feb 13 '12 at 2:38
This doesn't belong to either this site or serverfault.com. This probably belongs to area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/8431/it-security – Karlson Feb 13 '12 at 2:58
I thought Area 51 was about aliens... has it not occured to anyone to give it a more intuitive name? – nlovric Feb 13 '12 at 3:09
@nlovric — note that the question there wasn't closed by moderators but rather by community consensus. – mattdm Feb 13 '12 at 4:23
@Karlson IT Security has a real URL now: security.stackexchange.com. No need to link to the original site proposal. :) – Anna Lear Feb 15 '12 at 6:15
@AnnaLear Good to know. I just remembered seeing it Are51. – Karlson Feb 15 '12 at 13:13

Since you've now reposted the question on IT Security Stack Exchange, this instance is moot, but for future reference:

  • The proper procedure to request migrating a question is to flag it on the site where it's posted (use the flag button under the question).
  • I think the topic of this question could work on either Unix & Linux or IT Security or Stack Overflow, emphasizing different aspects on each site.
  • Opening with “Can someone … give me exact data [from their system]” is likely to provoke negative reactions on Stack Exchange, where we tend to eschew personal involvement (at least on the more technical computer-related sites, especially Server Fault). Your later impersonal request “I'd like to know how various DDoS tools effect memory …” is better (btw, it's affect) is likely to get a better reception.

Well, I wrote "I'd like to know", because "I want to know" is, basically, demanding. Also, it's not absolutely neccessary that I know this; if I don't know this, I just can't adjust the program against DDoS tools. – nlovric Feb 16 '12 at 10:57
