DELTA: SDN SECURITY EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
DELTA: SDN SECURITY EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
What is DELTA?
DELTA is a penetration testing framework that regenerates known attack scenarios for diverse test cases. This framework also provides the capability of discovering unknown security problems in SDN by employing a fuzzing technique.
- Agent-Manager is the control tower. It takes full control over all the agents deployed to the target SDN network.
- Application-Agent is a legitimate SDN application that conducts attack procedures and is controller-dependent. The known malicious functions are implemented as application-agent functions.
- Channel-Agent is deployed between the controller and the OpenFlow-enabled switch. The agent sniffs and modifies the unencrypted control messages. It is controller-independent.
- Host-Agent behaves as if it was a legitimate host participating in the target SDN network. The agent demonstrates an attack in which a host attempts to compromise the control plane.
