Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a security vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a web page viewed by other users, usually in a script.

This attack typically targets web applications that allow user-generated content or input, such as message boards, comment sections, or search boxes.

Slowloris is a type of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack that exploits web servers to handle incoming connections.

The attack sends incomplete HTTP requests to keep the connections open for as long as possible. The attacker then mimics this pattern by sending many incomplete requests to the server.
