SlowLoris
→ View on GitHubPySlowLoris is a Python-based tool designed for testing a web server's vulnerability to slow request attacks by maintaining numerous open connections and sending malformed headers. It utilizes asynchronous I/O for efficient connection handling, offers user-friendly command line and Python API interfaces, and is packaged for easy installation via PyPI or Docker. Notably, users can specify the number of connections and run the tool in a silent mode to focus on attack simulation without cluttering the output.
