chaos-marmosets

Description

This project contains small programs that behave badly. They can be used for chaos engineering to test the system behavior and the infrastructure setup for those cases.

divide-by-zero tries to divide a number by zero. It will immediately exit with signal 4 (SIGILL). This program is useful to test the process core dump configuration. In case of using a bug reporting system like apport, this program allows testing reporting the crash and retracing it.

leak-memory: This program will eat your memory like Obelix eats cake until it will eventually trigger the out of memory (OOM) killer. This program is useful to test configured cgroups memory limitations and the OOM killer behavior.

seg-fault: This program tries write to address zero and will trigger a segmentation fault (signal 11). It is useful to test the process core dump configuration. In case of using a bug reporting system like apport, this program allows testing reporting the crash and retracing it.
