Constructing Virtual Network Attack and Defense Platform Based on OpenStack

Abstract

Keywords: OpenStack, virtualization, network attack and defense platform. Abstract.With the rapid development of Internet, network security issues have become great issues related to national security and stability. In this context, researchers and students in universities require one for scientific research and experimental teaching of network attack and defense platform. This paper proposes it which is based on OpenStack, combining with network virtualization technology and depending on the limited physical resources, and it invents a hierarchical, extensible, isolated network resource. The experimental results show that the platform can be a variety of attack and defensive in virtual environments. It can reduce costs and achieve a variety of network attack and defense testing.

High-Performance Routing Emulation Technologies Based on a Cloud Platform

“…Architecture Design. OpenStack, as the mainstream cloud platform technology, can provide outstanding operation and a basic network environment for network emulation with its high scalability, high fidelity, and low cost [36]. SDN technology optimizes the routing emulation architecture by separating the forwarding layer and the control layer, effectively reducing the emulation overhead and improving the emulation performance [27].…”
