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.
For off-the-shelf use, download a Debian package from our website and follow the guide [written in our blog](https://www.guardicore.com/2016/07/infection-monkey-loose-2/).
Warning! The Debian package will uninstall the python library 'bson' because of an issue with pymongo. You can reinstall it later, but monkey island will probably not work.
To manually set up and the C&C server follow the instructions on [Monkey Island readme](monkey_island/readme.txt). If you wish to compile the binaries yourself, follow the instructions under Building the Monkey from Source.
### Start Infecting
After installing the Infection Monkey on a server of your choice, just browse https://your-server-ip:5000 and follow the instructions to start infecting.
If you want to build the monkey from source instead of using our provided packages, follow the instructions at the readme files under [chaos_monkey](chaos_monkey) and [monkey_island](monkey_island).
