Vec U8 Generator

This module is used to generate byte vectors (random of a given size or fixed).

Module declaration
Argument name Optional/mandatory Description Values/Examples
type mandatory type = "vec_u8_generator"
generator_type mandatory random vector or fixed generator_type = "fixed"
output_name optional the name of the output variable output_name = "plaintext"
len mandatory if "random" the random vector size len = 16
value mandatory if "fixed" the value of the generated vector value = "000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f"
