HTTP DoS Exploit

This exploit is a Denial of Service (DoS) attack that targets the HTTP protocol. It sends a specially crafted GET request that causes the server to consume excessive resources and become unresponsive.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, ensure that your server has proper resource management and rate limiting in place. Additionally, consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to detect and block malicious traffic.
