The analysis of realization features of low-intensity HTTP-attacks was performed. Three types of low intensity attacks were highlighted: Slowloris, Slow POST attack and Slow READ attack. Scenarios of each type of low-intensity attacks were described. Features of this type of attacks in comparison with low-level attacks such as "denial of service" were selected: they do not require a large Number of resources from the attacking machine, and they are difficult for the detection, since their parameters are similar to legitimate traffic. All three types of attacks have been implemented using the tool "slowhttptest". The web server Apache parameter by which can be realized these vulnerabilities were obtained. Different configurations of the server Apache, which exposed to attacks of this type, have been investigated. The basic parameters of the attacks, in which server Apache transforms into a state, where it cannot service requests have been allocated. For each type of attacks the characteristic features were highlighted. Parameters of http-request, which assume the detection of this type attacks highlighted. The analysis of mathematical tools of building the models for the systems for these types of attacks detection on the basis of the obtained parameters was performed.
