A new approach of network simulation for data generation in evaluating security products
Une nouvelle approche de simulation réseau pour la génération de données dans l'évaluation de produits de sécurité
Résumé
Evaluating a security product requires the ability to conduct tests to assert that the product reacts as expected, both in terms of scalability and semantics. However, the production of evaluation data at a large scale with a high semantic is very costly with current methods. Load tests are semantically poor and semantic tests require a testbed environment to be deployed at a large scale. Evaluation data from real world activity need to be anonymized and a compromise must be made between the request of the evaluator and the interest of the real world organization. Moreover, to evaluate the full scope of a security product, the evaluator needs multiple test methods. In this paper, we describe a new methodology to produce evaluation data with a customizable level of realism and the possibility to be deployed at a large scale with lower resource requirements for a network support than a testbed environment. Our prototype relies on this method to generate realistic activity for up to 250 simulated users interacting with a real-world webmail server.
