Description

Simulates slow HTTP application-layer denial-of-service patterns for testing how web servers handle abusive or resource-draining clients. Security teams and administrators use it to validate defenses in controlled environments.

This is offensive testing software. Use it only against systems you own or are authorized to test, because running it on real services can disrupt availability and violate law or policy.
