A low and slow attack is a type of DoS or DDoS attack that relies on a small stream of very slow traffic targeting application or server resources.
A low and slow attack is a type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack designed to evade detection by sending application traffic or commonly HTTP requests that appear to be legitimate, but at a very slow rate of volume.

Slowloris is a denial-of-service attack program which allows an attacker to overwhelm a targeted server by opening and maintaining many simultaneous HTTP connections between the attacker and the target.
A Low and Slow DDoS attack, also known as a slow-rate attack, involves what appears to be legitimate traffic at a very slow rate. This type of state exhaustion DDoS attack targets application and server resources and is difficult to distinguish from normal traffic.
- Detecting a Low and Slow DDoS attack, such as a R.U.D.Y. attack, can be accomplished by performing network behavioral analysis during normal operat...

Nov 2, 2011 · Slow HTTP attacks are denial-of-service (DoS) attacks in which the attacker sends HTTP requests in pieces slowly, one at a time to a Web server. If an HTTP request is not complete, or if the transfer rate is very low, the server keeps its resources busy waiting for the rest of the data.
A Slowloris DDoS attack is considered a distributed denial of service, and it can remain undetected by traditional intrusion detection systems by sending legitimate HTTP request packets at low request-per-second rates, rather than large volumes or high rates of HTTP requests per second.
