Havoc Delay

Delay is the time gap between the execution of two havocs. Delay will be not applicable to first havoc. It will be applicable from second havoc onwards.

Nethavoc supports two modes of delay(s):

1. Delay with respect to the start of the previous havoc.
   For example, if havoc starts at 10:00 for duration of 5m and delay value in 2m, next havoc will be triggered at 10:02
2. Delay with respect to the end of previous havoc.
   For example, if havoc starts at 10:00 for duration of 5m and delay value in 2m, next havoc will be triggered at 10:07

Duration:

This section displays the total duration of the injected havoc. The maximum duration is 99hr:59m:59s.

Number of iterations:

It is the number of iterations to be performed over a given message set that can have one or more messages.

Delay In Scenario

Delay is the duration between the execution of two consecutive Havocs.

Application Kill

• Kill Application: By injecting this havoc, application will be terminated. This fault can be injected based on the following options:
• Directly: Select this option to kill the application immediately.
• On method entry: Terminate application once a specific method is called and on its entry.
• On Method Exit: Terminate the application once a specific method's execution is completed and on its exit.

Method Selection

• Specific Method: Select the specific method from the drop down. Users can select multiple methods at a time.
• Method Name: Enter the fully qualified name of the java method.

Exit Code

• Exit codes categorize how an application termination process occurred, and it has four types of exit code: Normal, Abnormal, with Core Dump, and Custom processes post-termination, as explained below.
  • Normal: The application terminated successfully, indicating that it completed its tasks without encountering any significant issues.
  • Abnormal: This exit code signifies that the application terminated unexpectedly due to an error or exception. It could indicate issues such as invalid input, unexpected runtime conditions, or bugs in the application code.
  • With Core Dump: If the application terminates with a core dump, it suggests that a critical error occurred, leading to a crash. The core dump provides a snapshot of the application's memory at the time of the crash, which can be useful for debugging and identifying the cause of the issue.
  • Custom: Users can also give the custom exit code for application kill havoc. User will give the numerical value as custom exit code that is returned by a command or program to indicate its execution result. The exit codes range from 0 to 255, with 0 representing success, and 1-255 indicating various failure conditions.
• Delay Before Kill: Add a delay before terminating or killing the application after the defined event or condition.

Application CPU Burst

• CPU Attack : This is the way you want to consume the CPU resources.
  • Fill Millicore : The number of millicores in the CPU that you want to consume. The maximum limit to fill the millicores is N-1, where N is the total number of millicores available in the system.
    • CPU Millicores: Number of CPU millicores to be consumed.
• CPU Utilization % : Burns CPU on mentioned server(s). The default value is 10% and maximum can be 100%.
• CPU Burn : CPU % to be burnt.

Thread Leak

Simulate thread leaks on your application instance via this havoc. Following information is required:

• Number of Thread: Enter the value to specify the number of generic threads that will be initiated in the application. The threads are executed simultaneously without impacting each other.
• Sleep Time for each thread : Specify the sleep time (in ms) for each thread. Higher sleep times will use less CPU and higher sleep times have minimal effect on CPU, while lower sleep times increase CPU utilization.
