DoS

Just DoS'd a site with slowLoris (actually pyLoris but whatever) when I stopped the attack the website didn't come back up. Wtf just happened? 
I'm not IP banned I checked through an external source www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com

why? it's a legitimate question.  Slowloris should not bring down a web server, it should temporarily tie up its resources for the duration of the attack.

It could bring it down by preventing ARP requests from terminating, causing the need for a reboot.

Thanks, and interesting.  I have now completed 2 goals for the day, piss someone off, and learn something about networking.

the need for a reboot.
Shirley you jest!

Doubtful - the bug used by Slowloris has been fixed for ages.

definitely worked website was universitypalmshawaii.com  nuke it yourself when they bring it back online if you don't believe me.

nm it's back up, test it out.

I've seen this happen with Apache under a full fledged attack from PyLoris.

Essentially, your Apache server is configured in a way that the connection limit is higher than the physical hardware will allow. That is to say, your attack is causing Apache to use up all of the server's memory/swap space, causing serious problems on the server; requiring a full reboot to correct the issue.

Possible they just took it offline until the attack was over.

Does someone confused prog with /g/ or proggit?
OP, your "legitimate" question does not belong here. It's not about programming and hexing anuses.

Fair enough, -self sage.
