The Docker Security Playground: A hands-on approach to the study of network security
Gaetano Perrone, Simon Pietro Romano · 2017
This paper presents the design and implementation of the Docker Security Playground (DSP), an architecture leveraging a microservices-based approach in order to build complex network infrastructures specifically tailored to the study of network security. DSP has been conceived at the outset as a tool for learning network security with a hands-on approach. A number of security labs have been already realized and made available in a public repository. The paper discusses how such labs can be fruitfully exploited by students, as well as presents the Application Programming Interface offered to programmers interested in the implementation of new labs.
