Security testing tool for web servers

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.
