ABSTRACT:
A method and system for simulating computer networks and computer network components to test computer network security is disclosed. A user specifies a desired configuration of a simulated computer network by using a configuration manager. The user also defines all the network components within the simulated computer network by specifying whether a component should be provided in hardware or should be simulated via software. Upon receiving the above-mentioned information from the user, the configuration manager acquires the required hardware resources from a hardware inventory. The configuration manager utilizes an interface switch that connects the hardware in the hardware inventory to produce the desired network layout. Next, the specified configuration for each of the network components is pushed into the acquired hardware resources. Computer network components to be simulated with software are subsequently initialized by the configuration manager. At this point, the user can use the simulated computer network for real-time testing of network security.
