MadeYouReset is an HTTP/2 denial-of-service vulnerability caused by a mismatch between HTTP/2 stream-reset semantics and stream accounting in affected implementations. An unauthenticated client can open streams and induce server-side resets, including through malformed frames or flow-control errors. Although such streams are protocol-level closed after the server sends a reset, backend processing associated with them may continue. Implementations that no longer count these reset streams toward concurrency limits can consequently be induced to process an unbounded number of concurrent backend requests over one HTTP/2 connection.

This repository provides a Python proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-8671, a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in the lighttpd web server's HTTP/2 implementation (versions prior to 1.4.80). The repository contains three files: a README.md with detailed usage instructions and warnings, a requirements.txt listing dependencies ('rich' for console output and 'h2' for HTTP/2 protocol support), and the main exploit script (main.py). The script allows users to check if a target server is running a vulnerable version of lighttpd and, if so, to launch a DoS attack by sending repeated HTTP/2 streams with immediate resets. The attack is configurable (number of streams, continuous mode) and is intended strictly for local/lab use, as emphasized in the documentation. The exploit targets network-accessible lighttpd servers and does not contain any hardcoded IPs or domains; the user specifies the target host and port. The code is a functional PoC and does not include weaponized or framework-level features.
