NetHavoc is a chaos engineering platform that helps organizations build resilient applications by intentionally introducing failures in a controlled environment. This approach allows developers to identify vulnerabilities and improve application performance before real-world issues arise.

Key Features

• CPU Burst: Consume CPU cores or utilization.
• Disk Swindle: Fill up disks on the server.
• I/O Shoot Up: Increase I/O activity on devices/nodes.
• Memory Outlay: Increase RAM utilization.
• Abort Application: Abort any process/application by name or ID.
• Terminates Cloud: Choose to terminate a cloud instance at will.
• Kill Server: Shutdown or reboot the host.
• Teleport: Travel back or forward by changing the system time.
• Distort Queue: Produce messages on IBMMQ.
• Intrude Network: Perform packet corruption over interface(s).
• Trim Network Packets: Induce Packet Loss over interface(s).
• Dormant Network: Induce delay in network traffic.
• DNS Breakdown: Reject calls to DNS Server to simulate breakdown.
• Interstellar: Drops all ingress/egress matching traffic.
• Alter Inbound Service: Induce delay & failures in service transactions.
• Alter Outbound Service: Induce delay & failures in callout to outbound services.
• Method Invocation: Delay method execution time.
• Method Exception: Generate exception in application methods.
• Heap Memory Leak: Increase JVM heap utilization.
• Inject Havocs: Validate real-time use cases by injecting various types of havoc.
• Design Scenario: Capability to design a sequence or random multiple havocs.
• Forge ahead Havocs with Scenario Schedules: Activate the configured havoc or scenario at a scheduled time.
• Inbuilt Reporting and Monitoring: Visualize the performance of the application during and after chaos.
• Inbuilt Access Control: Control the permission to access and create chaos.
• Extensibility: Extend resiliency testing with performance testing integration.

Benefits

• Improved Resilience: Enhance application reliability by identifying and addressing potential failures.
• Reduced Downtime: Minimize the impact of unexpected failures on user experience.
• Enhanced Performance: Optimize application performance under various stress conditions.
• Proactive Maintenance: Identify vulnerabilities before they cause real-world issues.
