Slowloris: Low-Bandwidth DDoS Tool

Slowloris is a denial-of-service tool that keeps many connections to the target web server open and holds them as long as possible by sending partial HTTP requests.

How It Works

1. Opens multiple connections to the target 2. Sends partial HTTP headers 3. Sends additional header lines at regular intervals to keep connections alive 4. The server eventually reaches its maximum concurrent connections and denies legitimate requests
