Parasitic Computing Framework

Warning

BrainSlug is a work in progress. Code may change rapidly in incompatible manners. Any question, please drop us an issue

BrainSlug is a framework for parasitic computing. Allowing you to write programs which code and logic live in a computer but actions or side-effects are performed on another.

Example:

from brainslug import run, slug, body

@slug(remote=body.platform == 'linux')
def get_root_shell(remote):
    with remote.open('/etc/passwd', 'r') as passwd:
        for line in passwd:
            if line.startswith('root'):
                return line.split(':')[-1]

run(get_root_shell)

This code should be run in a computer we call slug. Running this code will open the port 8080 and stop execution until a body connects to it.

To connect a body, in a remote system run the following:

$ curl http://<slug-ip>:8080/boot/python | python

This will spawn the body to life and connect it with the slug.

The program continues running in the slug, but the file reads are performed in the body.
