NaughtyBoy

NaughtyBoy (nB) was created to make it easy to generate system or network traffic for testing purposes. This is super alpha... probably don't use it.

Configuration

nB takes a YAML configuration file that looks like:

---
# seconds to sleep in-between iterations (to check on threads/processes)
sleep: 1

# commands to run before naughtyboy is started (i.e. for docker)
prep:
    - 'apt-get install curl'

# commands to run (forever)
commands:
    - 'curl http://vhost1.example.com'
    - 'curl http://vhost2.example.com ; sleep 5'

Run With Python

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

$ python setup.py develop

$ python naughtyboy.py run commands.yml
Thread #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Thread #1: curl -s http://vhost2.example.com/ ; sleep 5
Thread #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Thread #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Thread #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Thread #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Thread #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Thread #1: curl -s http://vhost2.example.com/ ; sleep 5
...

By default, nB runs commands via threads, but can use processes as well:

$ python naughtyboy.py run commands.yml -m process
Process #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Process #1: curl -s http://vhost2.example.com/ ; sleep 5
Process #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Process #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Process #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Process #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Process #0: curl -s http://vhost1.example.com/
Process #1: curl -s http://vhost2.example.com/ ; sleep 5
...
