The Monkey uses various methods to self propagate across a data center and reports success to a centralized Monkey Island Command and Control server. +The Infection Monkey is an open-source breach and attack simulation tool for testing a data center's resiliency to perimeter breaches and internal server infection. +Infection Monkey will help you validate existing security solutions and will provide a view of the internal network from an attacker's perspective. + +Infection Monkey is free and can be downloaded from [our homepage](https://infectionmonkey.com/). ![Infection Monkey Documentation Hub Logo](/images/monkey-teacher.svg?height=400px "Infection Monkey Documentation Hub Logo") -The Infection Monkey is comprised of two parts: +## How it works -* Monkey - A tool which infects other machines and propagates to them. -* Monkey Island - A dedicated UI to visualize the Infection Monkey's progress inside the data center. +Architecturally, Infection Monkey is comprised of two components: -To read more about the Monkey and download it, visit [our homepage](https://infectionmonkey.com/). +* Monkey Agent (Monkey for short) - a safe, worm-like binary program which scans, propagates and simulates attack techniques on the **local network**. +* Monkey Island Server (Island for short) - a C&C web server which provides a GUI for users and interacts with the Monkey Agents. + +The user can run the Monkey Agent on the Island server machine or distribute Monkey Agent binaries on the network manually. Based on +the configuration parameters, Monkey Agents scan, propagate and simulate an attacker's behavior on the local network.
