HTTP Flooding Using DoSHTTP

DoSH TTP is an H TTP flood denial-of-service (DoS) testing too!for Windows.
DoSHTTP includesport designation and repo!ting.
I C O N K E Y
Lab Scenario
/ Valuable
information H T T P flooding is an attack th at uses en o rm o u s useless packets to jam a w eb server.
111 tliis paper, w e use lu d d en sem i-M arkov m odels (HSM M ) to d escn b e W eb -
.-*v Test your
____knowledge brow sing patterns an d detect H T T P flooding attacks. W e first use a large n u m b e r of
legitim ate request sequences to train an H S M M m o d el an d th en use tins legitim ate
m. Web exercise m odel to check each inco m in g request sequence. A b n o rm al W w b traffic w hose
likelihood falls into unreasonable range for th e legitim ate m o d el w o u ld be classified
as potential attack traffic and should be controlled w ith special actions such as
filtering or lim iting the traffic. Finally w e validate o u r ap p ro ach by testing die
m e th o d w ith real data. T h e result show s th at o u r m e th o d can d etect the anom aly
w eb traffic effectively.

111 the previous lab y ou learned ab o u t S Y N flooding using 11p111g3 an d the

counterm easures th a t can be im plem ented to p rev e n t such attacks. A n o th e r m e th o d
th a t attackers can use to attack a server is by using the H T T P flood approach.

A s an expert ethical hacker an d penetration tester, y o u m u st be aw are o f all types

o f hacking attem pts o n a w eb server. F o r H T T P flooding attack y o u should
im plem ent an advanced technique k n o w n as “ tarpitting,” w h ich once established
successfully will set connections w in d o w size to few bytes. A ccording to T C P /I P
p ro to co l design, the conn ectin g device w ill initially only send as m u ch data to target
as it takes to fill die w in d o w until the server responds. W ith tarpitting , there will be
n o response back to th e packets fo r all u nw anted H T T P requests, thereby
protecting your w eb server.

Lab Objectives
T h e o b jectiv e o f tins lab is to h elp sm d e n ts learn H T T P flo o d in g d em al-o t
