What is Skynet?

Skynet Framework is powerful, easy to use GNU/GPL licensed remote control package and cluster-based network connections builder written in PHP.
With Skynet you can create different instances of Skynet (called "clusters") and place them on different servers and then connects with them and sending data between them.



Skynet clusters works on request-response architecture as peer-to-peer clusters. They can connects between itselfs, requesting data, responds for them and more. Skynet have self-replication and self-update mechanisms, so you can clone or update your clusters even by remote easy access. Event-listener architecture implemented in Skynet allows you to create your own Event Listeners with easy to use API and allow you to expand Skynet's capabilities according to your needs. Skynet can operate in two modes - as PHP script administrated by browser and in PHP CLI. Thanks to both of these features Skynet offers console interface for quick and easy commands sending and parameters to other clusters. Skynet clusters work on dynamically created databases based on information from other clusters, requests and responses. Framework also have powerful logging system works on .txt files and database. Skynet is ONLY ONE FILE compiled from source classes (compiler is included). This feature allows you to operate Skynet easily using a single file from any location.

NOTE: Skynet can be some of kind C&C service and can offers powerful possibilites with this. Please do not use Skynet for illegal purposes.
