Currently, the StartManager.pl script accepts a user-specified URL to start the honeyclient drive operations. So, the command format looks something like this:
%/$HC_TRUNK_DIR/src/trunk/bin/StartManager.pl http://www.cnn.com
We want to have StartManager.pl be able to read in a list of URLs. This list of URLs can be in a text file format, like 'urllist.txt', and that file can be in the same directory StartManager.pl is located in.
The new command can look something like this:
%/$HC_TRUNK_DIR/src/trunk/bin/StartManager.pl urllist.txt
or
%/$HC_TRUNK_DIR/src/trunk/bin/StartManager.pl
(where you're specifying a text file to read in for the run() function in $agentState portion of StartManager.pl script)
Programmatically, if you have a URLs list (URLlist.txt) with these three items in it:
foo
bar
baz
then, you would want the $agentState part of StartManager.pl to look something like this:
my $agentState = HoneyClient::Manager->run(
driver => 'IE', # Change to 'IE' or 'FF'
master_vm_config => '/vm/Agent.Master-7/winXPPro.cfg',
agent_state => encode_base64(nfreeze({
IE => { # Change to 'IE' or 'FF'
next_link_to_visit => foo,
# Enable this line, if you want to only go to the
# first 5 links for each domain.
max_relative_links_to_visit => 5,
links_to_visit => {
'bar' => 1,
'baz' => 1,
},
},
})),
);
As for testing out the modifications you will make to StartManager.pl, it would probably be easiest/fastest if you made the changes to StartManager.pl, and checked in your changes (please create an experimental branch for your stuff first, though). Then we can test the changes in the environment we've already set up. This means you won't have to set up an Agent side of the honeyclient.
