Introduction

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

Prerequisites

If you are not using our container images for the extension, you need install the tc (from the iproute2 package) tool to use the attack.

Restrictions

This attack affects network traffic for protocols that use port numbers (e.g., TCP, UDP). Protocols like ICMP, which do not use ports, remain unaffected and will continue to function normally.

Use Cases

• Testing network resilience to bit errors

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
Package Corruption	How much traffic should be corrupted?	15%
Duration	How much of the traffic should be corrupted??	30s
Hostname	Restrict to which hosts the traffic is corrupted?
IP Address	Restrict to which IP address the traffic is corrupted
Port Number	Restrict to which port number the traffic is corrupted
Network Interface	Target Network Interface which should be attacked. All if none specified.
