And at this moment our bandwith monitor shows that just 40Mbit of 300 mbit bandwith were used. When we made this attack to our company to test our DDOS protector devices, attack was successful and all our web servers were down. By the way the CR LF characters are the specific characters and known as head of line and new line. This type of attack method is called HTTP Slowloris Attack. If hundreds of connections are opened by the tool performing the same operation, the web server’s connection pool is exhausted and the server is out of service because it cannot provide connections for other clients. In a Slowloris attack, for example, the hacker sends numerous partial HTTP requests to the targeted web server. Since duplicate CR LF tokens are not sent each time, the connection is kept open on the server and the server stays busy. The web server adds each incoming new line (fragment) of the packet to the current packet. The tool generates the names of the headers and the values to be inserted in the HTTP GET request from random stringsĪnd determines the larger limits for the names and values of the headers. Periodically (and slowly-hence the name), the attacker will send additional headers, thus keeping the request 'alive' but not finished. Under slowloris attack, the pool of threads is consumed by the attacker and the service will deny connection attempts from legitimate users. In a Slowloris attack, the attacker sends HTTP requests to a web server without ever completing the requests. X-HMzV2bwpz9qutsjU9fGjZRknd7Sa54J: asPOmsa43Rrte4QV92yojeewiuBL2N7CRLF One well-known application attack is Slowloris, which targets web servers. The Attacker’s tool sends the header slowly and to be added to this half request to the server. If the client does not terminate the HTTPrequest with a duplicate CR LF, the web server assumes that the packet is not yet complete and waits for the remaining parts of the packet. The server understands that the packet is terminated with a duplicate CRLF because the type of the HTTP request is GET. User-Agent: Explorer (Windows NT 6.1 Trident/4.0 SLCC2)CRLF For example, a tool that can perform this type of attack makes an http request to the target server as follows. Slowloris works by opening multiple connections to the targeted web server and keeping them open as long as possible. The basic working principle of this attack is that the headers in the http request are sent slowly, keeping the web server constantly busy. Script Output PORT STATE SERVICE REASON VERSIONĨ0/tcp open http syn-ack Apache httpd 2.2.This attack, known as Http-Slowloris-DDOS attack, can be applied to all known Apache versions. Example Usage nmap -script http-slowloris -max-parallelism 400 See the documentation for the smbauth library. smbdomain, smbhash, smbnoguest, smbpassword, smbtype, smbusername See the documentation for the http library. http.host, http.max-body-size, http.max-cache-size, http.max-pipeline, http.pipeline, uncated-ok, eragent Technically, NGINX is not affected by this attack. The whole idea behind this attack technique is making use of HTTP GET requests to occupy all available HTTP connections permitted on a web server. See the documentation for the slaxml library. Slowloris DoS Attack gives a hacker the power to take down a web server in less than 5 minutes by just using a moderate personal laptop. Time to wait before sending new http header datas Specify maximum run time for DoS attack (30 Specify that the script should continue theĪttack forever. http-slowloris-check.nse Script Arguments nforever.Is 400 or more) Also, be advised that in some cases this attack canīring the web server down for good, not only while the attack isĪlso, due to OS limitations, the script is unlikely to work With the -max-parallelism option (default is 20, suggested Please note that the number of concurrent connexions must be defined These pieces of information (which may be useful to tweak furtherīy default the script runs for 30 minutes if DoS is not achieved. WhenĪ successful DoS is detected, the script stops the attack and returns The default for both directives is 60 > seconds. The clientbodytimeout directive controls how long > NGINX waits between writes of the client body, and the > clientheadertimeout directive controls how long NGINX waits between > writes of client headers. The server runs out of resources, leading to a denial of service. Slowloris is an example of this > type of attack. Graham-Cumming recommended that customers using DDoS protection services. This script opens and maintains numerous 'half-HTTP' connections until For attackers, the advantage of Slowloris attacks is that they dont take a lot. Slowloris was described at Defcon 17 by RSnake Tests a web server for vulnerability to the Slowloris DoS attack by launching a Slowloris attack.
