will use random time intervals, to prevent detection.īy sending numerous small packets, at a very slow rate, R.U.D.Y. Still, it should be noted that some variants of R.U.D.Y. The information is sent not only in small chunks but also at a very slow rate, typically with ~10 second intervals between each byte. sends a legitimate HTTP POST request with an abnormally long ‘content-length’ header field and then t starts injecting the form with information, one byte-sized packet at a time. Once the forms have been identified, R.U.D.Y. The attack is executed via a DoS tool which browses the target website and detects embedded web forms. is a popular low and slow attack tool that is designed to crash a web server by submitting long form fields. Because low and slow attack traffic appears legitimate, these attacks often fly under the radar of traditional mitigation tools. Slow rate, Layer-7 DDoS attacks, also called “low and slow” attacks, attempt to open a relatively few connections to the targeted server or web site over a period of time, and leave the sessions open as long as possible.Įventually, the number and length of open sessions exhaust the target’s resources, making it unavailable to legitimate traffic. (short for R-U-Dead-Yet?) is a DoS tool used to execute slow-rate attacks (similar to Slowloris), which is implemented via long form field submissions. I use both.Named after an album by Finish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom, R.U.D.Y. Same thing applies, as more of the response is sent, more time is allotted for it to finish.Įven with mod_reqtimeout, I wouldn't get rid of mod_antiloris. Like the request side, if the response doesn't complete soon enough, the connection is closed. Mod_reqtimeout also handles the other side of the equation, the response. But if the timeouts are set low enough, they may not be able to fill up.
SLOWLORIS ATTACK MITIGATION WINDOWS
So on Windows versions that have that ugly connection limit (all non-server versions), slowloris could still use them all up. The one thing it doesn't do is limit the number of connections. So yes, in a way it does guard against slowloris. You can set it short because you also tell it to give more time as more of the request comes in (to handle slow clients on slow connections without cutting them off). You set it with a base ammount of time to wait before closing the connection. Mod_reqtimeout doesn't care if a request ever gets complete, after so much time it will just time out. Slowloris opens a lot of connections and never completes the request, so the server sits there waiting for it to complete. Well, let's look at what the module does and how Slowloris works.
