Welcome to the Infection Monkey!

The Infection Monkey is an open source security tool for testing a data center's resiliency to perimeter breaches and internal server infection. The Monkey uses various methods to self propagate across a data center and reports success to a centralized Command and Control(C&C) server.

The Infection Monkey is comprised of two parts:

• Monkey - A tool which infects other machines and propagates to them
• Monkey Island - A C&C server with a dedicated UI to visualize the Chaos Monkey's progress inside the data center
