Arachni-RPC

Synopsis

Arachni-RPC is a simple and lightweight Remote Procedure Call protocol which provides the basis for Arachni's Grid infrastructure.

This repository holds only the protocol specification although there currently are 2 (more like 1.5) available implementations:

• Arachni-RPC EM -- Uses EventMachine for network related operations and provides both a client and a server, this is the one used by Arachni.
• Arachni-RPC Pure -- Provides a synchronous client using pure Ruby OpenSSL sockets and has no 3rd party dependencies.

Features

• Extremely lightweight
• Very simple design
• Token-based authentication

Installation

I can't think of a lot of uses for manually installing the protocol specification (it'll most likely be installed as a dependency for some other project) but in case you want to some instructions follow.

Gem

gem install arachni-rpc

If you want to clone the repository and work with the source code:
