SlowDroid is the first[1] denial of service attack which allows a single mobile device to take down a network server requiring minimal bandwidth.[2][3] The attack has been created for research purposes by Enrico Cambiaso and Maurizio Aiello for the IEIIT Institute[4] of the National Research Council of Italy and released as an Android application.
SlowDroid behavior
SlowDroid was initially published on the Google Play Store. Due to developers terms of service, the application has been removed by the store.
SlowDroid can also be used as a botnet[7] and it was used also by the Anonymous[2] group of hacktivists.
SlowDroid was mentioned in an official European Commission document[7] and it was presented in scientific conferences.[8]
