Virtualization for Telemetry Network

Abstract

Our world is changing fast and many companies have graduated to task automations, Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning, virtual and Augmented Reality, Blockchain, IoT, and many more. To aid this progression, more intensive and complex computing has been undeniably pivotal, more data has been generated and stored, and above all, more measures have been required to protect both data and functionalities of these advancements. Really, how relevant or advanced is a system if any unauthorized or unqualified person has access to its database, networks or functionality? This paper breaks down the use of hardware virtualization tools to develop testbed systems that test for vulnerabilities in a telemetry network. Put simply, we are developing a testbed that will model an enterprise of telemetry networks. We will then launch attacks on these networks and test the vulnerabilities of the client machines to ascertain the level of vulnerability of the client machines. There are a number of components included in the Testbed such as routers, switches, LANs, Virtual machines, connectors, firewalls, etc. The virtual machine here is a VMware workstation.
