Attack simulation infrastructure
What is it?
This is a simple setup with (actual) 3 VMs. One VM is used as companies web appearance / intranet. The second one is its syslog server. The last one is playing the role of an attacker/hacker.
What is it for?
IT IS JUST FOR EDUCATIONAL USE!
I developed this small setup for some courses at the TU Wien (Technical University of Vienna). It is/was used to create networking dumps of several attacks for forensic student tasks.
Anyhow, I think this project can show people
- how attacks are performed
- how to find vulnerabilities
- how to detect them
- how to do some digital forensics
- and most important, how to protect yourself.
Used software
- Hydra (https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra)
- tshark (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/AppToolstshark.html)
- nmap
- nc
Requirements
- Vagrant >= 1.6.5 (https://www.vagrantup.com/)
- VirtualBox >= 4.3.30 (https://www.virtualbox.org/)
- Linux/Os X environment
Usage
First of all you need to install the required software.
Give run.sh execute rights
chmod +x run.shNow you just need to run this script
./run.shThat's it! Now all 3 VMs will be set up. Follow the dialogue to start the attacks.
Be patient, some attacks need time (bruteforce with Hydra). After all is done, you will find attack.log and lanDump.pcap in the projects directory.
ToDos
- revise Readme (add description of VMs, infrastructure and attacks)
- add attacks
- add screenshots & documentation
- after 3 years... maybe port it to docker?! :)
