Chaos Squirrel attack to consume/fill disk space
Consume lots of disk space. Spawns a dd
process, so this is unlikely to work on non-unix systems.
Note that AWS Lambda functions have 512 MB disk space available.
import DiskSpaceAttack from '@dazn/chaos-squirrel-attack-disk-space';
const createDiskSpaceAttack = DiskSpaceAttack.configure({
// 2gb
size: 2000000000,
});
const diskSpaceAttack = createDiskSpaceAttack();
// Start and stop methods are async for this attack.
// You should await the results to ensure the file is fully created + removed
await diskSpaceAttack.start();
// a 2gb file will be created
await diskSpaceAttack.stop(); // deletes the file
0.10.1 (2021-07-20)
