Slowloris both helps identify the timeout windows of a HTTP server or Proxy
server, can bypass httpready protection and ultimately performs a fairly low
bandwidth denial of service. It has the added benefit of allowing the server
to come back at any time (once the program is killed), and not spamming the
logs excessively. It also keeps the load nice and low on the target server, so
other vital processes don't die unexpectedly, or cause alarm to anyone who is
logged into the server for other reasons.
The main audience using slowloris is of course a system administrators wanting
to measure their webserver's performance and vulnerability.
Parallel::Scoreboard is a pure-perl implementation of a process
scoreboard. By using the module it is easy to create a monitor for
many worker process, like the status module of the Apache HTTP server.
Unlike other similar modules, Parallel::Scoreboard is easy to use and
has no limitation on the format or the length of the statuses to be
stored. Any arbitrary data (like JSON or frozen perl object) can be
saved by the worker processes as their status and read from the
manager process.
To ease the task of network administration,
decrease the likelihood of erronous command execution and
to maintain all network services from a central point,
EnderUNIX SDT anounces the availability of its 9th open-source tool,
netUstad.
It has been coded in C language and includes its own HTTP server.
The newly anounced version provides a web interface for
system administrators to add/delete/update FreeBSD IPFW and Linux IpTables
rulesets, manage routing table and network interfaces.
You can manage your Firewall via a TCP/IP connected remote PC, easily.

Boa is a single-tasking HTTP server. That means that unlike
traditional web servers, it does not fork for each incoming
connection, nor does it fork many copies of itself to handle multiple
connections. It internally multiplexes all of the ongoing HTTP
connections, and forks only for CGI programs (which must be separate
processes.) Preliminary tests show boa is about twice as fast as
Apache, and is capable of handling 50 hits per second on a 66 MHz '486.
The primary design goals of Boa are speed and security. Security,
in the sense of "can't be subverted by a malicious user", not "fine
grained access control and encrypted communications".
mod_perl brings together the full power of the Perl programming language
and the Apache HTTP server. You can use Perl to manage Apache, respond to
requests for web pages and much more.
mod_perl gives you a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web
server. This lets you avoid the overhead of starting an external interpreter
and avoids the penalty of Perl start-up time, giving you super-fast
dynamic content.
As you'd expect from the Perl community, there are hundreds of modules
written for mod_perl, everything from persistent database connections, to
templating sytems, to complete XML content delivery systems. Web sites like
Slashdot and Wired Magazine use mod_perl.
mod_rivet brings together the full power of the Tcl programming language
and the Apache HTTP server. You can use Tcl to manage Apache, respond to
requests for web pages and much more.
mod_rivet gives you a persistent Tcl interpreter embedded in your web
server. This lets you avoid the overhead of starting an external interpreter
and avoids the penalty of Tcl start-up time, giving you super-fast
dynamic content.
As you'd expect from the Tcl community, there are hundreds of modules
written for mod_rivet, everything from persistent database connections, to
templating sytems, to complete XML content delivery systems. Web sites like
FlightAware use mod_rivet.
A collection of modules for the Objective Caml language which focus
on application-level Internet protocols and conventions.
Ocamlnet consists of a number of libraries:
* netstring is about processing strings that occur in network context
* netcgi1 and netcgi2 focus on portable web applications
* nethttpd is a web server component (HTTP server implementation)
* netplex is a generic server framework
* rpc implements OncRPC
* netclient implements clients for HTTP, FTP, and Telnet
* equeue is an event queue used for many protocol implementations
* shell is about calling external commands
* netshm provides shared memory for IPC purposes
* netsys contains bindings for system functions
* smtp and pop are two further client implementations
Feersum is an HTTP server built on EV. It fully supports the PSGI 1.03 spec
including the psgi.streaming interface and is compatible with Plack. PSGI 1.1,
which has yet to be published formally, is also supported. Feersum also has
its own "native" interface which is similar in a lot of ways to PSGI, but is
not compatible with PSGI or PSGI middleware.
Feersum uses a single-threaded, event-based programming architecture to scale
and can handle many concurrent connections efficiently in both CPU and RAM.
It skips doing a lot of sanity checking with the assumption that a "front-end"
HTTP/HTTPS server is placed between it and the Internet.
anyremote2html package is a WEB interface for anyRemote.
It acts as HTTP server and translates anyRemote commands to HTML.
The overall goal of this project is to provide remote control service on Linux
through Bluetooth, InfraRed, Wi-Fi or just TCP/IP connection.
anyRemote supports wide range of modern cell phones like Nokia, SonyEricsson,
Motorola and others.
It was developed as thin communication layer between Bluetooth (or IR, Wi-Fi)
capabled phone and UNIX, and in principle could be configured to manage almost
any software.
