Write a attack module which checks for timing attacks #28

Open rliebig opened 11 years ago

rliebig commented 11 years ago

Timing attacks occur when the web server responds in other time lengths when the user is accesing them, based on the input data, as example, a Password. They can be used for more efficient bruteforcing or to determine the length of data. As we also wanted to check that GET-Requests are idempotent, this can be done in one module.
