Detailed Description

GuiCommunicationThread(Thread).

Gui Communication class.

It handles communication between graphical user interface and recording/fuzzing process. Communication runs parallely with recording/fuzzing process in a separate thread. Thread receives udp packets from all local interfaces on port specified on commandline using option --hotGuiPort.

Received messages are expected to be 32-bit integers encoded into hexaformat, so the length of the messages is expected to be 8 bytes. Messages are decoded and following values are recognized as instructions:

2: Store address from which the packet was received and periodicaly send number of current iteration to this address 3: Interupt recording/fuzzing process 4: Pause recording/fuzzing process 5: Unpause recording/fuzzing process

1 was reserved for instructing single agent to stop running application, but is not currently used.

The interation with recording/fuzzing process is handled mainly by changing values of specific shared variables. Method PpAction.guiCommunicator() complements the functionality on site of running/fuzzing process.
