#slowloris.py - Simple slowloris in Python#

##What is Slowloris?##
|
||
|
|
Slowloris is basically an HTTP Denial of Service attack that affects threaded servers. It works like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. We start making lots of HTTP requests.
|
||
|
|
2. We send headers periodically (every ~15 seconds) to keep the connections open.
|
||
|
|
3. We never close the connection unless the server does so. If the server closes a connection, we create a new one keep doing the same thing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This exhausts the servers thread pool and the server can't reply to other people.

##How to install and run?##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can clone the git repo or install using **pip**. Here's how you run it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `sudo pip3 install slowloris`
|
||
|
|
* `slowloris example.com`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's all it takes to install and run slowloris.py.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to clone using git instead of pip, here's how you do it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `git clone https://github.com/gkbrk/slowloris.git`
|
||
|
|
* `cd slowloris`
|
||
|
|
* `python3 slowloris.py example.com`
