Toxy - Hackable Http Proxy To Simulate Server Failure Scenarios And Network Conditions

Toxy is a fully programmatic and hackable HTTP proxy to simulate server failure scenarios and unexpected network conditions , built for node.js / io.js .

It was mainly designed for fuzzing/evil testing purposes, when toxy becomes particularly useful to cover fault tolerance and resiliency capabilities of a system, especially in disruption-tolerant networks and service-oriented architectures, where toxy may act as MitM proxy among services.

toxy allows you to plug in poisons, optionally filtered by rules, which essentially can intercept and alter the HTTP flow as you need, performing multiple evil actions in the middle of that process, such as limiting the bandwidth, delaying TCP packets, injecting network jitter latency or replying with a custom error or status code. It operates only at L7 (application level).

toxy can be fluently used programmatically or via HTTP API . It was built on top of rocky , a full-featured middleware-oriented HTTP proxy, and it's also pluggable in connect / express as standard middleware.

Requires node.js +0.12 or io.js +1.6

Introduction

Why toxy?
There're some other similar solutions like toxy in the market, but most of them do not provide a proper programmatic control and usually are not easy to hack, configure or are directly closed to extensibility.
Furthermore, the majority of the those solutions only operates at TCP L3 level stack instead of providing high-level abstractions to cover common requirements in the specific domain and nature of the HTTP L7 protocol, like toxy tries to provide
toxy brings a powerful hackable and extensible solution with a convenient abstraction, but without losing a proper low-level interface capabilities to deal with HTTP protocol primitives easily.
toxy was designed based on the rules of composition, simplicity and extensibility. Via its built-in hierarchical domain specific middleware layer you can easily augment toxy features to your own needs.

Concepts
toxy introduces two directives: poisons and rules.
Poisons are the specific logic which infects an incoming or outgoing HTTP transaction (e.g: injecting a latency, replying with an error). One HTTP transaction can be poisoned by one or multiple poisons, and those poisons can be also configured to infect both global or route level traffic.
Rules are a kind of match validation filters that inspects an HTTP request/response in order to determine, given a certain rules, if the HTTP transaction should be poisioned or not (e.g: if headers matches, query params, method, body...). Rules can be reused and applied to both incoming and outgoing traffic flows, including different scopes: global, route or poison level.

// Handle the rest of the traffic
proxy
  .all('/*')
  .poison(poisons.slowClose({ delay: 1000 }))
  .poison(poisons.slowRead({ bps: 128 }))
  .withRule(rules.probability(50))

proxy.listen(3000)
console.log('Server listening on port:', 3000)
console.log('Test it:', 'http://localhost:3000/image/jpeg')

Poisons
Poisons host specific logic which intercepts and mutates, wraps, modify and/or cancel an HTTP transaction in the proxy server. Poisons can be applied to incoming or outgoing, or even both traffic flows.
Poisons can be composed and reused for different HTTP scenarios. They are executed in FIFO order and asynchronously.

Poisoning scopes
toxy has a hierarchical design based on two different scopes: global and route .
Global scope points to all the incoming HTTP traffic received by the proxy server, regardless of the HTTP method or path.
Route scope points to any incoming traffic which matches with a specific HTTP verb and URI path.
Poisons can be plugged to both scopes, meaning you can operate with better accuracy and restrict the scope of the poisoning, for instance, you might wanna apply a bandwidth limit poisoning only to a certain routes, such as /download or /images .
See routes.js for a featured example.

Poisoning phases
Poisons can be plugged to incoming or outgoing traffic flows, or even both.
Incoming poisoning is applied when the traffic has been received by proxy but it has not been forwarded to the target server yet.
Outgoing poisoning refers to the traffic that has been forwarded to the target server and when proxy recieves the response from it, but that response has not been sent to the client yet.
This means, essentially, that you can plug in your poisons to infect the HTTP traffic before or after the request is forwarded to the target HTTP server or sent to the client.
This allows you apply a better and more accurated poisoning based on the request or server response. For instance, given the nature of some poisons, like inject error , you may want to enable it according to the target server response (e.g: some header is present or not).
See poison-phases.js for a featured example.

Built-in poisons

Latency

Name	latency
Poisoning Phase	incoming / outgoing
Reaches the server	true

Infects the HTTP flow injecting a latency jitter in the response
Arguments :

options object
- jitter number - Jitter value in miliseconds
- max number - Random jitter maximum value
- min number - Random jitter minimum value

toxy.poison(toxy.poisons.latency({ jitter: 1000 }))
// Or alternatively using a random value
toxy.poison(toxy.poisons.latency({ max: 1000, min: 100 }))

Inject response

Name	inject
Poisoning Phase	incoming / outgoing
Reaches the server	false (only as incoming poison)

Injects a custom response, intercepting the request before sending it to the target server. Useful to inject errors originated in the server.
Arguments :

options object
- code number - Response HTTP status code. Default 500
- headers object - Optional headers to send
- body mixed - Optional body data to send. It can be a buffer or string
- encoding string - Body encoding. Default to utf8

toxy.poison(toxy.poisons.inject({
  code: 503,
  body: '{"error": "toxy injected error"}',
  headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
}))

Bandwidth

Name	bandwidth
Poisoning Phase	incoming / outgoing
Reaches the server	true

Limits the amount of bytes sent over the network in outgoing HTTP traffic for a specific time frame.
This poison is basically an alias to throttle.
Arguments :

options object
- bytes number - Amount of chunk of bytes to send. Default 1024
- threshold number - Packets time frame in miliseconds. Default 1000

Rate limit

Name	rateLimit
Poisoning Phase	incoming / outgoing
Reaches the server	true

Limits the amount of requests received by the proxy in a specific threshold time frame. Designed to test API limits. Exposes typical X-RateLimit-* headers.
Note that this is very simple rate limit implementation, indeed limits are stored in-memory, therefore are completely volalite. There're a bunch of featured and consistent rate limiter implementations in npm that you can plug in as poison. You might be also interested in token bucket algorithm.
Arguments :

options object
- limit number - Total amount of requests. Default to 10
- threshold number - Limit time frame in miliseconds. Default to 1000

Abort connection

Name	abort
Poisoning Phase	incoming / outgoing
Reaches the server	false (only as incoming poison)

Aborts the TCP connection. From the low-level perspective, this will destroy the socket on the server, operating only at TCP level without sending any specific HTTP application level data.

// Basic connection abort
toxy.poison(toxy.poisons.abort())
// Abort after a delay
toxy.poison(toxy.poisons.abort(1000))
// In this case, the socket will be closed if
// the target server takes more than
// 2 seconds to respond
toxy.poison(toxy.poisons.abort({ delay: 2000, next: true }))

Timeout

Name	timout
Poisoning Phase	incoming / outgoing
Reaches the server	true

Defines a response timeout. Useful when forward to potentially slow servers.
Arguments :

miliseconds number - Timeout limit in miliseconds

toxy.poison(toxy.poisons.timeout(5000))

How to write poisons
Poisons are implemented as standalone middleware (like in connect/express).
Here's a simple example of a server latency poison:

var toxy = require('toxy')

function customLatency(delay) {
  /**
   * We name the function since toxy uses it as identifier to get/disable/remove it in the future
   */
  return function customLatency(req, res, next) {
    var timeout = setTimeout(clean, delay)
    req.once('close', onClose)

    function onClose() {
      clearTimeout(timeout)
      next('client connection closed')
    }

    function clean() {
      req.removeListener('close', onClose)
      next()
    }
  }
}

var proxy = toxy()

// Register and enable the poison
proxy
  .get('/foo')
  .poison(customLatency(2000))

You can optionally extend the build-in poisons with your own poisons:

toxy.addPoison(customLatency)

// Then you can use it as a built-in poison
proxy
  .get('/foo')
  .poison(toxy.poisons.customLatency)

For featured real example, take a look to the built-in poisons implementation.

Rules
Rules are simple validation filters which inspects an incoming or outgoing HTTP traffic in order to determine, given a certain rules (e.g: matches the method, headers, query params, body...), if the current HTTP transaction should be poisoned or not, based on the resolution value of the rule.
Rules are useful to compose, decouple and reuse logic among different scenarios of poisoning. Rules can be applied to global, route or even poison scope, and it also applies to both phases of poisoning .
Rules are executed in FIFO order. Their evaluation logic is equivalent to Array#every() in JavaScript: all the rules must pass in order to proceed with the poisoning.

Built-in rules

Probability

Name	probability
Poison Phase	incoming / outgoing

Enables the rule by a random probabilistic. Useful for random poisoning.
Arguments :

percentage number - Percentage of filtering. Default 50

var rule = toxy.rules.probability(85)
toxy.rule(rule)

Time threshold

Name	timeThreshold
Poison Phase	incoming / outgoing

Simple rule to enable poisons based on a specific time threshold and duration. For instance, you can enable a certain poisons during a specific amount of time (e.g: 1 second) within a time threshold (e.g: 1 minute).
Arguments :

options object
- duration number - Enable time inverval in miliseconds. Default to 1000
- threshold number - Time threshold in miliseconds to wait before re-enable the poisoning. Default to 10000

// Enable the poisoning only 100 miliseconds per each 10 seconds
proxy.rule(toxy.rules.timeThreshold(100))
// Enable poisoning during 1 second every minute
proxy.rule(toxy.rules.timeThreshold({ duration: 1000, period: 1000 * 60 }))

Method

Name	method
Poison Phase	incoming / outgoing

Filters by HTTP method.
Arguments :

method string|array - Method or methods to filter.

var method = toxy.rules.method(['GET', 'POST'])
toxy.rule(method)

Content Type
Filters by content type header. It should be present
Arguments :

value string|regexp - Header value to match.

var rule = toxy.rules.contentType('application/json')
toxy.rule(rule)

Headers

Name	headers
Poison Phase	incoming / outgoing

Filter by request headers.
Arguments :

headers object - Headers to match by key-value pair. value can be a string, regexp, boolean or function(headerValue, headerName) => boolean

var matchHeaders = {
  'content-type': /^application/\json/i,
  'server': true, // meaning it should be present,
  'accept': function (value, key) {
    return value.indexOf('text') !== -1
  }
}

var rule = toxy.rules.headers(matchHeaders)
toxy.rule(rule)

Response headers

Name	responseHeaders
Poison Phase	outgoing

Filter by response headers from target server. Same as headers rule, but evaluating the outgoing request.
Arguments :

headers object - Headers to match by key-value pair. value can be a string , regexp , boolean or function(headerValue, headerName) => boolean

var matchHeaders = {
  'content-type': /^application/\json/i,
  'server': true, // meaning it should be present,
  'accept': function (value, key) {
    return value.indexOf('text') !== -1
  }
}

var rule = toxy.rules.responseHeaders(matchHeaders)
toxy.rule(rule)

Body

Name	body
Poison Phase	incoming / outgoing

Match incoming body payload by a given string , regexp or custom filter function .
This rule is pretty simple, so for complex body matching (e.g: validating against a JSON schema) you should probably write your own rule.
Arguments :

match string|regexp|function - Body content to match
limit string - Optional. Body limit in human size. E.g: 5mb
encoding string - Body encoding. Default to utf8
length number - Body length. Default taken from Content-Length header

var rule = toxy.rules.body('"hello":"world"')
toxy.rule(rule)

var rule = toxy.rules.body(function contains(body) {
  return body.indexOf('hello') !== -1
})
toxy.rule(rule)

Response body

Name	responseBody
Poison Phase	outgoing

Match outgoing body payload by a given string , regexp or custom filter function .
Arguments :

match string|regexp|function - Body content to match
encoding string - Body encoding. Default to utf8
length number - Body length. Default taken from Content-Length header

var rule = toxy.rules.responseBody('"hello":"world"')
toxy.rule(rule)

// Or using a filter function returning a boolean
var rule = toxy.rules.responseBody(function contains(body) {
  return body.indexOf('hello') !== -1
})
toxy.rule(rule)

Response status

Name	responseStatus
Poison Phase	outgoing

Evaluates the response status from the target server. Only applicable to outgoing poisons.
Arguments :

range array - Pair of status code range to match. Default [200, 300] .
lower number - Compare status as lower than operation. Default to null .
higher number - Compare status as higher than operation. Default to null .
value number - Status code to match using a strict equality comparison. Default null .
include array - Unordered list of status codes to match. Useful to specify custom status. Default null

// Strict evaluation of the status code
toxy.rule(toxy.rules.responseBody(200))
// Using a range of valid status
toxy.rule(toxy.rules.responseBody([200, 204]))
// Using relational comparison
toxy.rule(toxy.rules.responseBody({ higher: 199, lower: 400 }))
// Custom unordered status code to match
toxy.rule(toxy.rules.responseBody({ include: [200, 204, 400, 404] }))

Third-party rules
List of available third-party rules provided by the community. PR are welcome.

IP - Enable/disable poisons based on the client IP address (supports CIDR, subnets, ranges...).

How to write rules
Rules are simple middleware functions that resolve asyncronously with a boolean value to determine if a given HTTP transaction should be ignored when poisoning.
Your rule must resolve with a boolean param calling the next(err, shouldIgnore) function in the middleware, passing a true value if the rule has not matches and should not apply the poisoning, and therefore continuing with the next middleware stack.
Here's an example of a simple rule matching the HTTP method to determine if:

var toxy = require('toxy')

function customMethodRule(matchMethod) {
  /**
   * We name the function since it's used by toxy to identify the rule to get/disable/remove it in the future
   */
  return function customMethodRule(req, res, next) {
    var shouldIgnore = req.method !== matchMethod
    next(null, shouldIgnore)
  }
}

var proxy = toxy()

// Register and enable the rule
proxy
  .get('/foo')
  .rule(customMethodRule('GET'))
  .poison(/* ... */)

You can optionally extend the build-in rules with your own rules:

toxy.addRule(customMethodRule)

// Then you can use it as a built-in poison
proxy
  .get('/foo')
  .rules(toxy.rules.customMethodRule)

For featured real examples, take a look to the built-in rules implementation

For more details about the admin programmatic API, see below .

Authorization
The HTTP API can be protected to unauthorized clients. Authorized clients must define the API key token via API-Key or Authorization HTTP headers.
To enable it, you should simple pass the following options to toxy admin server:

const toxy = require('toxy')

const opts = { apiKey: 's3cr3t' }
var admin = toxy.admin(opts)

admin.listen(9000)
console.log('protected toxy admin server listening on port:', 9000)

API
Hierarchy :

Servers - Managed toxy instances
- Rules - Globally applied rules

- Routes - List of configured routes
  - Route - Object for each specific route
    - Rules - Route-level registered rules
    - Poisons - Route-level registered poisons
