A virtual vulnerability validation platform based on KVM
Chengqing Guo, Ting Li, Zhenzhen Gong, Han Hong-li · 2015
Vulnerability testing platform may be time consuming and inconvenient to establish for that it greatly depends on tester's testing ability and knowledge of network security architecture. Virtual vulnerability validation platform (VVVP) is proposed in this paper to deal with this dilemma. Key technologies such as OS image customization and KVM are analyzed. VVVP model has two main parts, the OS image customization technology which is utilized to have those needed software files packed into the OS image, and the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) which is used for improving operation efficiency. The results show that VVVP is very efficient for building an environment.
