slowloris

Security testing tool for web servers

Description

Open source tool used to perform Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on web servers. Slowloris exploits a vulnerability in web servers called “Keep-Alive” to exhaust server resources and make them inaccessible.

Slowloris offers a number of configurable options, allowing fine-grained control over request behavior. Some of which include:

- Web Server Port: It is possible to specify the web server port to be

the target of the action, usually port 80.

- Number of Sockets: You can determine the number of simultaneous sockets

that the tool will use to send requests to the server.

- Log Increase (Verbose): The level of detail of the information logged

during the run can be adjusted, allowing a more detailed analysis of the

results.

- User agent randomization: Slowloris can randomize user agents on each

request, making it difficult to detect the destination server.

- Use of SOCKS5 proxy: The tool supports the use of a SOCKS5 proxy to further

hide the source of requests.

- Use of HTTPS for Requests: In addition, it is possible to configure the

tool to use the HTTPS protocol for requests, adding another layer of

obscurity.

- Time interval between headers: You can specify a time interval between

sending request headers, controlling the rate of requests.
