# Chaos Faults

Overview of chaos faults available in Harness Chaos Engineering

Chaos faults are the core building blocks of chaos experiments. They simulate various failure scenarios to test the resilience of your applications and infrastructure.

## Available Fault Categories <a href="#available-fault-categories" id="available-fault-categories"></a>

### [Chaos Faults](/resilience-testing/chaos-engineering/faults/chaos-fault-categories/chaos-faults-reference.md) <a href="#chaos-faultschaos-fault-categorieschaos-faults-referencemd" id="chaos-faultschaos-fault-categorieschaos-faults-referencemd"></a>

Browse our comprehensive collection of pre-built chaos faults for various platforms and services.

### [Custom Faults](/resilience-testing/chaos-engineering/faults/custom-faults/index.md) <a href="#custom-faultscustom-faultsindexmd" id="custom-faultscustom-faultsindexmd"></a>

Create and manage your own custom chaos faults using BYOC (Bring Your Own Chaos) capabilities.

## Getting Started <a href="#getting-started" id="getting-started"></a>

1. **Explore Available Faults**: Browse the [chaos faults](/resilience-testing/chaos-engineering/faults/chaos-fault-categories/chaos-faults-reference.md) to see what's available
2. **Understand Fault Tunables**: Learn about [common tunables](/resilience-testing/chaos-engineering/faults/chaos-fault-categories/common-tunables-for-all-faults.md) that apply to all faults
3. **Create Custom Faults**: Use [BYOC](/resilience-testing/chaos-engineering/faults/byoc/byoc.md) to create your own fault types

## Next Steps <a href="#next-steps" id="next-steps"></a>
