How to Fit the Internet into a Box
Abstract
So, right-- so, we have a lot of-- I dont know. Are we-- geez man, I dont know. Youre asking me this question, so I now have to go back and sort of give the official spiel of okay were doing exercises, were simulating offensive/defensive cyber forensic scenarios to teach people hacking skills and defense skills and forensic skills. Okay so, when were doing that, we do that with a lot of VMs. And so, because we do that with a lot of VMs, and the VMs run on platforms and environments that are disconnected from the Internet for multiple reasons because they happen in secret installations that are air gapped because we dont want our viruses to escape on the Internet, and then we want the trainees to think or to sort of have the sense of realism that they are on some sort of thing that looks like the Internet. So, we scraped all the websites that we thought people might sort of be interested in for realism's sake, and we set up a bunch of other services that might look like they are out there on the real Internet and shoved them in a single VM to make it easy to start and stop a simulation.
