DoS Attack Monitoring Dashboard

Project Overview

This demonstration showcases a Denial of Service (DoS) attack simulation with real-time monitoring capabilities. The system consists of:

  • Victim Server: Kali Linux VM running Apache with PHP monitoring scripts
  • Dashboard: Web-based monitoring interface running on XAMPP (Windows)
  • Attack Script: Python Slowloris implementation

The dashboard visualizes:

  • Active connection count
  • RAM utilization
  • Response times
  • Apache access logs

How to Run

  1. Victim VM Setup:

    • Place apache_stats.php in /var/www/html/ on the Kali VM
    • Configure VM network as Host-Only in VMware/VirtualBox

  2. Host PC Setup:

    • Put the dos-dashboard folder in XAMPP's htdocs directory
    • Update all IP references in code files to match your VM's IP
    • Start Apache service in XAMPP

  3. Execution:

    • Run the attack from another VM/WSL on the same host
    • Monitor results at http://localhost/dos-dashboard/
