Take down website using Slowloris DoS attack



A DoS attack is a type of attack where an attacker can suspend services of a host or a website by sending a large number of traffic and making request constantly from two or more computer or by sending large number of packet (for which you can find tutorial here )which make small servers overload and server goes crash and result "Destination unreachable"

Here i am going to DOS using Perl base program name Slowloris developed by Robert "RSnake" Hansen. Slowloris is very effective program which allows a single machine to take down another machine's web server with minimal bandwidth and side effects on unrelated services and ports. It keep connection open of the target and keep sending request and after some time some become unresponsive to other request which result in server down. It is very easy to use this program for which i am going to give step by step tutorial below

STEP 1 As i said it's Perl base program, mostly i use this program on some Linux distro but i will use Windows this time so that lots of user can use this. So to run this program you have to install Per on your computer so first download Perl from : HERE

STEP 2 : In this step you have to copy some text from the Slowloris and paste it to your notepad but for saving time i have already done these steps for you so you have to download this slowloris program from here : DOWNLOAD

STEP 3 : Save it to your c drive for example c:\"slowloris"


STEP 4 : Now go to command and type cd:\


STEP 5 Now type slow.pl to run Slowloris.pl to check you have done above steps correctly or not.If you have done above steps correctly then you will see Slowloris



STEP 4 OK now you have to choose your target as i am going to attack on a vulnerable website, here you don't need to ping the website to get the IP address

STEP 5 OK now we came to the main point in the command type "slow.pl -dns www.yourtarget.com -port 80 -timeout 500 -num 500 -tcpto 5 -httpready "


Now Slowloris will start sending packets to your target



And now after waiting some time the site has been taken down as you can see i am pinging to google to prove that my internet is working 



If you want to make it more powerful then run multiple Slowloris attack as shown below
but watch out for CPU heat and process

So guys i have shown you How to DOS a website now follow above steps and Happy Hacking
