How To Ddos Attack Using Backtrack
If you are using ‘Backtrack version’ for doing Ddos attack and then you can easily do it with a ‘Perl script’. This script makes this attack very easy or simple & user friendly. The script name is ‘slowloris.p1’, here .p1 is the extension of ‘Perl extension’, & Perl is a scripting language. The ‘Slowloris’ holds the connections open by sending the fractional/partial HTTP requests. It sends subsequent headers at regular intervals in order to keep the ‘sockets’ from closing. The Slowloris wait for all the sockets to become available before it is successful at consuming them, so if there is a high traffic website then it may take a while for the website to free up its sockets.Slowloris can be changed tosend different host headers, if your goal/target is a virtual host & logs that are stored/collected separately per virtual host. Once your attack prevent/stops or the session is shut down then there will be hundred ‘400 errors’ in the web server logs.
Attacking command: “root @ bt:~ /desktop#perl./slowloris.p1 -dns server IP-address”.
