Hey Naveen, finally got all the pipeline stuff worked out. Can you rebase this? Thanks! |
Mitigation of Slowloris Attacks: By introducing read and write timeouts to the HTTP server configuration, we mitigate potential Slowloris attacks. Slowloris is a type of Denial of Service attack where a client holds as many connections to the server open as possible for a long time, effectively tying up all available connections and preventing legitimate users from accessing the server. By setting a limit on how long the server will wait for a complete request (ReadTimeout) or a complete response (WriteTimeout), we ensure that resources are not tied up indefinitely, thus reducing the effectiveness of Slowloris attacks. Prevention of Unauthorized File Access: The file permissions for storing files have been updated to 0600 (read and write permissions for the owner only). This change is important for security reasons. By restricting access to the owner only, we reduce the risk of unauthorized access or manipulation of the stored files. This is particularly important when the files contain sensitive data, as it prevents potential data leaks or unauthorized modifications.

HTTP Timeout
Mitigation of Slowloris Attacks: By introducing read and write timeouts to the HTTP server configuration, we mitigate potential Slowloris attacks. Slowloris is a denial-of-service attack where a client holds as many connections to the server open as possible for a long time, effectively tying up all available connections and preventing legitimate users from accessing the server. By limiting how long the server will wait for a complete request (ReadTimeout) or a complete response (WriteTimeout), we ensure that resources are not tied up indefinitely, thus reducing the effectiveness of Slowloris attacks.
File Permission
Prevention of Unauthorized File Access: The file permissions for storing files have been updated to 0600 (read and write permissions for the owner only). AFAIK this shouldn't be an issue for the server functionality.
