Hi,
I am using apache 2.4.25 which is vulnerable for slowhttp DOS attack. So while trying to mitigate this, found that mod_reqtimeout provides a way to specify timeouts.
For example, RequestReadTimeout header=X-Y,MinRate=Z body=X-Y,MinRate=Z. With header time out set to 1 sec i dont see DOS attack.
My questions are,
1. What are the implications of setting a request header timeout as 1 sec? Is it very small number?
2. Is there a better way to overcome slowhttp attack? |
