🌐 Layer 7 (L7) Methods

Application-level attack techniques for HTTP-layer stress tests.

• HTTP Flood – Sends raw HTTP GET/POST requests to exhaust resources.
• Async HTTP Flood – Uses asyncio + proxies for parallel attacks.
• WebSocket Flood – Floods a websocket server with upgrade requests.
• Browser Emulation – Headless Chrome simulating human interaction.
• Slowloris – Holds many partial HTTP connections open.
• JS Challenge Bypass – Bypasses JavaScript-based protections (Cloudflare).
• RUDY Attack – R-U-Dead-Yet, slowly posts payloads to exhaust timeout queues.
• Custom Header Flood – Obfuscated header injection testing.
• SSL Renegotiation – Triggers SSL handshakes to drain CPU cycles.
• SMTP Flood – Abuses mail endpoints.
• WebDAV PUT – Sends HTTP PUT payloads to vulnerable endpoints.
• SQL Slam – Injects SQL payload bursts to test endpoint resilience.
• DNS Cache Buster – Sends randomized queries to poison/overflow cache.
