Loki

Loki is an adversary node implementation and api which operates on jormungandr network.

Build & Install

In order to build hersir in main project folder run:

cd testing/loki
cargo build
cargo install --path . --force

Quick Start

Loki can be used bootstrap using cli:

loki --genesis-block block0.bin --listen-address 127.0.0.1:8080 -s secret.yaml

where:

genesis-block - Path to the genesis block (the block0) of the blockchain listen-address - Specifies the address the node will listen secret - Set the secret node config (in YAML format). Example:

---
bft:
    signing_key: ed25519_sk1w2tyr7e2w26w5vxv65xf36kpvcsach8rcdmlmrhg3rjzeumjnzyqvdvwfa

Then utilizing rest interface of loki node one can send some invalid GRPC messages to rest of the network:

curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/invalid_fragment' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "address": "127.0.0.1:1000",
    "parent": "tip"
}'

where:

address - address of "victim" node, parent - Parent block. Possible values:

• tip - current tip of "victim" node,
• block0 - block0,
• {Hash} - arbitrary parent block which hash is provided in request

Other possible operations:

• /invalid_hash - Sends block with invalid hash,
• /invalid_signature - Sends block with invalid by wrong leader signature,
• /nonexistent_leader - Sends block with non-existing leader,
• /wrong_leader - Sends block with signed with invalid leader,

API

Loki also provides API for performing adversary operations, like sending invalid fragments:

    use loki::{AdversaryFragmentSender, AdversaryFragmentSenderSetup};

    let mut sender = ...
    let receiver = ..

    // node initialization
    let jormungandr = ...

    let adversary_sender = AdversaryFragmentSender::new(
        jormungandr.genesis_block_hash(),
        jormungandr.fees(),
        BlockDate::first().next_epoch().into(),
        AdversaryFragmentSenderSetup::no_verify(),
    );

    adversary_sender
        .send_faulty_transactions_with_iteration_delay(
            10,
            &mut sender,
            &receiver,
            &jormungandr,
            Duration::from_secs(5),
        )
        .unwrap();
