Low and slow attack.
Now, what is low and slow attack, the low and slow attack is a type of device or device attack that
relies on a small stream of very slow strophic, try targeting application or server resources.
So unlike more traditional brute force attacks, low and slow attacks require a very little bandwidth
and can be hard to mitigate as they generate the traffic.
That is very difficult to distinguish from normal traffic.
So what large scale attacks are likely to be not quickly low and slow attacks can go on undetected for
a long period of time, all while denying or slowing service to users.
So how this low until attack walks the slow loris to connect to a server and then slowly since partial
A.E hit us, this causes the server to keep the connection open so that it can receive the rest of the
headers tying up the three.
Another tool called Rudie or are you dead yet?
And actually, we saw it in the show when aliens say, Oh, that's awesome.
So this is tools actually used to generate HDB request to fill out form feeds.
It tells the servers how much data to expect, but then sends that data in a very slowly.
So the server keeps the connection open because it is anticipating more data.
Yet another type of low and slow attack is that suck stress attack suck stress attack, which exploit
a vulnerability in the TCP IP three way handshake, creating an indefinite connection.
So how do you get low and slow death rate detection techniques used to identify and stop additional
deadly attacks will not pick up on a low and slow death since they are looked like normal traffic.
So the best shot at detecting them is careful monitoring and looking of possible resource usage, combined
with behavioral analysis, combat traffic and user behavior during normal times to traffic and user
behavior during the potential attack period.
So if servers are performing slowly or crushing and I know and slow attack is suspected, one sign of
such an attack is that normal user processes take much longer.
And if I use an action such as filling out a form typically takes a few seconds, but is instead taking
minutes or an hour ago by far more terrible resources than normal.
I know.
And slow attack may be the cause.
So how does low and slow attack actually one way to mitigate the low and slow attack is to upgrade your
server availability.
The more connections you have several simultaneous Lemington, the more difficult it would be an attack
to clog your server.
The problem with this approach is that an attack like an attempt to scale their attack, to meet your
servers availability.
And another solution is a reverse proxy based prediction, which will mitigate low and slow attacks
before they ever reach your origin.
