Hello. I'm your host Brian Chavez (twitter). Havoc is a collection of dangerous code that wreck havoc in .NET applications and the operating system for chaos-engineering. Havoc is built on Bogus generator fake data generator for .NET.

Havoc can help you stress test your .NET applications under various load conditions, simulation, fault and failure-injection scenarios. If you like Havoc star ⭐ the repository and show your friends! 😄 💫 💪

Nuget Package Havoc

Install-Package Havoc

Minimum Requirements: .NET Standard 2.0 or .NET Framework 4.0.

Legend: ❌ - Not Implemented Yet.

• Cpu
  • Stress - Saturate the CPU with excessive computational work.
  • ❌ ContextSwitching - Create a high amount of thread context switching.
• Process
  • ❌ MassDeadlock - Create a massive mount of deadlocked threads.
  • MassThread - Create a massive amount of threads in a process.
  • FileOpenHandles - Excessively create large amount of open file handles.
  • ThreadPoolStarvation - Create a situation where the thead pool is starved.
  • ThreadPoolChaos - Keeps reference to thread pool threads, then later calls Abort() randomly causing thread pool threads to randomly abort executing code.
  • ProcessExit - Calls Environment.FailFast and terminates the current running process immediately.
• Disk
  • CachedWrites - Write as fast as possible using the same data to disk.
  • ❌ CachedReads - Read as fast as possible reading the same data on disk.
  • ❌ RandomWrites - Write random data to disk as fast as possible.
  • ❌ RandomReads - Read random data on disk as fast as possible.
  • ❌ RandomIO - Random reads and writes as fast as possible.
  • ❌ CachedIO - Cached reads and writes as fast as possible.
• Memory
  • MemoryLeak - Create a slow memory leak situation.
  • OutOfMemory - Excessive memory allocation that causes OutOfMemoryException.
  • StackOverflow - Generate a stack overflow exception.
  • ❌ ExcessiveGC - Create a work load that causes excessive amounts of GC pauses.
  • ❌ MemoryCorruption - Reflects into object and manipulates private values.
  • ❌ DotNetFrameworkCorruption - Static values in the .NET Framework are manipulated at runtime with various out of range values that can cause problems if calling code is invoked.
• Network
  • LocalTcpPortExhaustionAsync - Exhaust the number of available TCP/IP ports on the local operating system.
  • ❌ TcpConnectionExhaustion - Create a massive amount of TCP/IP connections to a given host.
  • ❌ TcpSend - Sends TCP data as fast as possible saturating a TCP link with random data.
  • ❌ UdpSend - Send UDP data as fast as possible saturating UDP packets with random data.
• Os
  • ❌ WaitHandles - Create a massive amount of wait handles registered in the operating system.
  • MassMutex - Register a massive amount of handles in the operating system.
  • MassSystemTimer - Create massive amounts of System.Timers.Timer that fire at random times.
  • ❌ Processes - Create a massive amount of processes in the operating system.
• Windows
  • ❌ BlueScreen - Cause a blue screen kernel bug check.
• Dangerous
  • ❌ DiskCorruption - Randomly modify executing assembly and reference assemblies.
  • DiskFull - Continuously fill the disk until there is no free space left.
  • WriteEicar - Write an EICAR test string to disk that will cause an anti-virus scanners to trigger.
  • WriteEicarMany - Write an anti-virus test string to a folder on disk, creating as many Eicar files as possible. The directory will be filled with random file names and their contents with the Eicar test value.
