Fusil architecture

Fusil is a multi-agent system (MAS): it uses simple objets called "agents" exchanging messages though asynchronus "message (mail) transfer agent" (MTA). This architecture allows the whole project to be very modular and very customisable.

Each agent have a live() method called at each session "step", but also event handler. An event has a name and may contains arguments. The name is used in agent method name: eg. "on_session_start()" method is called when the session starts.

Some agents do change the environment and some other watchs for errors and strange behaviour of programs.

Action agents

• CreateProcess: create a process
• StdoutFile: created by CreateProcess to store process output
• MangleFile: generate an invalid file using valid file
• AutoMangle: MangleFile with autoconfiguration based on aggressivity factor

Network:

• NetworkClient / NetworkServer: network client / server
• TcpClient: TCP network client
• UnixSocketClient: UNIX socket client
• HttpServer: HTTP server

Probes

• FileWatch: watch a text file, search specific text patterns like "segmentation fault"
• CpuProbe: watch CPU used by the process created by CreateProcess
• ProcessTimeWatch: watch process execution duration
• WatchStdout: watch process output (stdout)
• WatchProcess: watch process created by CreateProcess
• AttachProcess: watch running process
• Syslog: watch /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog files
