Well, we are in 2013 and It’s amazing how many JBOSS administration interfaces (jmx-console, web-console, invokers etc) are still exposed on the internet, however we are not going to talk about it.

A tool to detect Slow HTTP DoS attacks on pcap files

Hello everybody, I wrote a python tool to detect Slow HTTP DoS attacks on pcap files: slowdos_detector . This is ideal for post-mortem analysis on captured traffic (pcap files). If you are curious about how to test it, you could leverage slowhttptest  to launch an HTTP DoS attack on your test server, capture the traffic and then use slowdos_detector to show offending HTTP transactions. Enjoy it and ping me if you have questions, issues or suggestions.
