Introduction

Inject corrupt packets by introducing single bit error at a random offset into egress network traffic.

Details

Note: If you are going to attack containers using network attacks, all containers in the target's namespace (e.g. all containers belonging to the same Kubernetes Pod or Replica Set) will be affected. In case you want to target the traffic of a single container in the namespace you can for example use the port parameter to limit the blast radius.

Use Cases

• Testing network resilience to bit errors

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
Package Corruption	How much of the traffic should be corrupted?	15%
Fail on Host Network	Emit failure when the targeted container is using the host network	true
Duration	How long should the traffic be affected?	30s
Hostname	Restrict to which hosts the traffic is reduced
IP Address	Restrict to which IP address the traffic is reduced
Network Interface	Target Network Interface which should be attacked. All if none specified.
Ports	Restrict to which ports the traffic is reduced
