Recreating and Analyzing Realistic Network Security Scenarios

In Chapter 8 , we explored the basic and important features of Scapy Python application for conducting network security experiments. In this chapter, we will use Scapy for simulating realistic network security experiments. Specifically to learn network security issues in cloud environments, we will practice realistic network security experiments over Docker network setups. For instance, in cloud environments, it is necessary to deploy multiple containers over virtual networks for supporting multi-tenant applications. Hence, it is possible for malicious containers or Docker hosts to sniff Docker network traffic and attack victim containers by spoofing with malicious replies. Specifically we will learn how to exploit network security issues of standard TCP/UDP network applications.
