+#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`
