Scourge - The punisher of your .net core web app or app

What can Scourge do and what the h... is this insanity.

I needed to inflict ❗💥 on .net stuff running in containers, and this helped me channel all my

Warning This is still work in progress, and no nuget packages published...yet, that said it's as simple as cloning and run this sample src/Contallocator

General stuff

• Inflict pain 👊 in both web and standard .net core applications, with special support for aspnet core.
• Allocate chunks of both managed and unmanaged memory.
• Throws hard to handle exceptions like stackoverflow exception and exceptions thrown in async.methods returning void
• Throw whatever exception you demand. (as long as it supports a .ctor(string message)
• Get Garbage Collector information and force collects.
• Get Machine simple information, total memory as seen by the app, number of processors, all configured settings and environment variables.
• ThreadWhipper ™ 😉 start X threads to consume 100% cpu on all or some of the processors. available to the application (useful in the winter when you need electric heating)
• Process information - information about the current process, environment variables, configuration, memory etc.
• Process list - list runing processes including various details.

Coming soon

• Starve the thread pool.

See the Considering section for more possible fun.

Aspnet core specific stuff

• All the nastiness from General Stuff exposed as rest endpoints.
• Open api. (swagger) for all the endpoints.
• Easy injection into your aspnet core app.
• Send log messages with different log levels.

Coming soon to Scourge for aspnet core

• Inject scourge into your aspnet core application using startup hooks (enable scourge without recompinig or adding nuget packages. see Specify the hosting startup assembly

Examples

Enable Scourge in your aspnet core app.

1. Add a reference to the Scourge.AspNetCore nuget package // TODO: add nuget url
2. Use Scourge in your app, see the simple example below. or the "full" sample/test application

Warning In the example below and in the "full" example there is NO AUTHENTICATION enabled, so don't do this in production.

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// If you want swagger for the Scourge endpoints (Not needed if you know the endpoints :D)
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();

// Add Scourge Services
builder.Services.AddScourge();

var app = builder.Build();

// Map scourge
app.MapScourge("/scourge");


// If you want swagger (Not needed if you know the endpoints :D)
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseSwagger();
    app.UseSwaggerUI();
}

app.Run();

Considering

• CLI for Scourge
• UI for Scourge
• Socket leaking
• Random tasker background service that will consume memory and cpu cycles at random.
• Random failures from the middleware (must make sure this middleware is one of the first, investigate if it's also possible via starup hooks)
• Feel free to add ideas (play nice, start the title with [IDEA])
• Contribute your own hurtful ideas Contributing To Scourge
