Infection Monkey
The Infection Monkey is an open source security tool for testing a data center's resiliency to perimeter breaches and internal serverinfection. The Monkey uses various methods to self propagate across a data center and reports success to a centralized Monkey Island server.



The Infection Monkey is comprised of two parts:
  • Monkey - A tool which infects other machines and propagates to them
  • Monkey Island - A dedicated server to control and visualize the Infection Monkey's progress inside the data center
