The RFI's I've seen suggest millions of virtual machines that can simulate a global network. If that is even feasible is another story. Example: http://www.scmagazineus.com/researchers-simulate-a-botnet-of-1-million-zombies/article/140988/ That botnet doesn't even address the routing topology, which seems to be one of the goals of a cyber-range.
Claims that a single commodity box could do that misses the point of the simulation. http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/darpa-national-cyber-range/ On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 11:15 AM, Dave Aitel <[email protected]> wrote: > I promised @breakingpoint on the twitters that I'd start a thread to ask > them what this weird thing they are advertising actually does: > http://www.breakingpointsystems.com/company/news-and-events/news-releases/breakingpoint-cyber-range-device-launches/ > > So that's my question of the day (yesterday, really).
