Load-scripts.php file, which purpose is to retrieve several JavaScript packages through one single request.
```sh
$ chmod +x Execute.sh
$ ./Execute.sh
```
# How it Works!
- The problem lies upon the load-scripts.php file, which purpose is to retrieve several Javascript packages through one single request, such as bootstrap, jquery, and jqueryUI, among others.
- It is possible to create a special request to retrieve a huge quantity of different Javascripts, resulting in a high CPU resource and high bandwidth usage.
- Using a simple tool, it is possible to send hundreds of requests per second, which can easily increase RAM and CPU usage to the limit, resulting in a web server failure that would prevent users from accessing the attacked website or any other websites hosted on the same server.
