Description

Description

Implement performance benchmarking suite to validate multi-threaded execution speedup claims (10-15x).

Scope

  • Benchmark serial vs parallel tool execution
  • Measure ThreadPoolExecutor efficiency (16 workers for tools, 32 for ports/DNS)
  • Test against 10, 50, 100+ targets
  • Measure email credential testing parallelization (8 workers)
  • Profile memory usage under parallel execution
  • Compare single-threaded vs multi-threaded execution time

Requirements

  • Create benchmarking suite: tests/benchmarks/
  • Compare execution times
  • Generate performance report
  • Track metrics over time (CI integration)
  • Set performance regression thresholds

Files to Create

  • tests/benchmarks/benchmark_execution.py
  • tests/benchmarks/benchmark_dns_resolution.py
  • tests/benchmarks/benchmark_email_auth.py
  • perf_results.json (historical tracking)

Success Criteria

  • Tool execution speedup: 8-15x with 16 workers
  • Email auth speedup: 5-8x with 8 workers
  • DNS/port scan speedup: 20-32x with 32 workers
  • Memory usage < 500MB under concurrent execution
  • Performance regression detection in CI

Research direction

Start by locating the existing serial and threaded execution paths for tools, DNS/ports, and email authentication, then use them to populate tests/benchmarks/benchmark_execution.py, benchmark_dns_resolution.py, and benchmark_email_auth.py. Run the benchmarks against the listed target sizes, record perf_results.json, and verify the reported speedups, memory limit, and CI regression thresholds.
