Allow interrupt of honeyclient drive operation list to introduce higher priority sites

Description

While the honeyclient is traversing remote servers, we may occasionally want to interupt the drive function to introduce a new set of remote servers to traverse. For example, suppose we have the following web sites to spider:

www.cnn.com news.google.com www.slashdot.org

Let's say that we're currently spidering www.cnn.com, and now we have an additional list of sites that must be spidered within a short timeframe. We need to be able to take our original list of sites above, and insert the new list as follows:

www.cnn.com <new_list_of_sites_to_spider> news.google.com www.slashdot.org

This feature will allow us to interrupt the existing list of sites in order to prioritize another list of sites.

Anyone know the status of this? I think this has been implemented, but I don't know for sure.

No, this has not been implemented. This feature is different from how we currently prioritize links from a particular site, via the link scoring functionality. What I'm talking about here is allowing for an 'interrupt' in the spidering process to add in another URL list, which will then be processed before the previous list is continued.

  • owner changed from knwang to xkovah.
  • priority changed from normal to high.

I am bumping the priority since this will be applicable to when the hive might want to interrupt a manager as well.

01/02/08 10:11:05 changed by xkovah

  • priority changed from high to normal.
  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • component changed from Unknown to HoneyClient::Manager.

The first working version of this is in branches/exp/xkovah-priority_interrupt revision 1094

01/03/08 08:59:37 changed by xkovah

as of revision 1100 we now have the ability to resume the previously running VM (though workaround means until HoneyClient/Manager/VM/Clone.pm is updated).

03/04/08 10:40:03 changed by kindlund

  • reporter changed from anonymous to xkovah.
  • milestone changed from 1.0 to 1.1.

This functionality has been implemented via the Drone database within trunk. Further work for this feature will be developed at later milestones.
