Both connections +then wait for server timeout. If second connection gets a timeout 10 or more +seconds after the first one, we can conclude that sending additional header +prolonged its timeout and that the server is vulnerable to slowloris DoS +attack. + +A "LIKELY VULNERABLE" result means a server is subject to timeout-extension +attack, but depending on the http server's architecture and resource limits, a +full denial-of-service is not always possible. Complete testing requires +triggering the actual DoS condition and measuring server responsiveness. + +You can specify custom http User-agent field with <code>http.useragent</code> +script argument. + +Idea from Qualys blogpost: +* https://community.qualys.com/blogs/securitylabs/2011/07/07/identifying-slow-http-attack-vulnerabilities-on-web-applications + +]] + +--- +-- @usage +-- nmap --script http-slowloris-check <target> +-- +-- @output +-- PORT STATE SERVICE REASON +-- 80/tcp open http syn-ack +-- | http-slowloris-check: +-- | VULNERABLE: +-- | Slowloris DOS attack +-- | State: LIKELY VULNERABLE +-- | IDs: CVE:CVE-2007-6750 +-- | Slowloris tries to keep many connections to the target web server open and hold +-- | them open as long as possible.
