Hey gang: I've been using VBox successfully for a long time. It's been an invaluable asset as I have been studying for my Masters Degree in MIS.
One semester I created a virtual network and used Open source hacking tools to try to hack other boxes on the network. I made extensive use of snapshots and really hammered the virtual networking stack and everything I tried worked flawlessly. Thanks for a great tool. Now on to my request. This semester the project is a little different. I want to create much the same virtual network with a mix of OSes, but I want to simulate various network faults and troubleshooting techniques. As an example of a scenario I had in mind, I thought it might be interesting to create a couple of virtual network segments and stick a firewall problem between them and watch open source troubleshooting tools figure it out. Here is my problem: I'm just not sure if VBoxes virtual networking stack is as configurable as I would need it to be to make this work. So I figured this was the place to ask: Can I use VBox in this way? What tools would you recommend for fault simulation, like virus traffic simulation or whatever? Is there a better tool for this. I know that there are network load simulators, but I want a fault simulator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forrester recently released a report on the Return on Investment (ROI) of Google Apps.
