HTTP Post DoS Attacks
An HTTP Post Denial of Service attack is a type of attack where an attacker sends a legitimate HTTP Post message, but manipulates the content length parameter to indicate a larger message size than is actually sent. This causes the webserver to wait for the remainder of the message to be sent, which the attacker does at a very slow rate, repeatedly. For more advanced web servers, multiple HTTP Post attacks need to be used at the same time to achieve the desired effect.
Warning!
Be aware of HTTP Post Denial of Service attacks and the potential damage they can cause. Ensure that your webserver is properly configured to protect against this type of attack and monitor for any suspicious activity. Implementing a firewall and other security measures can also help protect against this type of attack.
