Cyber Range

A firing range for the modern battlefield: information. Our Spirent-based cyber range is where security teams hone attack and defense skills — and where network devices prove themselves before real-world deployment.

Red team versus blue team cyber exercise
Four Core Goals

Train teams. Test devices. Prove security.

Keeping information accessible while keeping it secure is a growing global challenge. A cyber range answers it the way a firing range does — skills and equipment, proven before they matter.

Cyber Exercises Platform

A training field for security assessment where teams build attack and defense expertise, verify signatures and rehearse incident response on live infrastructure.

Performance Evaluation

Devices benchmarked against IETF/BMWG standards — RFC 2544 and RFC 2889 — for true capability measurement instead of datasheet claims.

Functional Testing

Validate network devices and applications against vendor claims before purchase and deployment decisions are locked in.

Security Testing

Devices tested against the BMWG methodology followed by Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet and SonicWall — the same bar the industry leaders use.

Cyber Exercises

Real attacks. Real defenses. Zero real damage.

Exercises pit a fully equipped red team against a blue team defending production-grade infrastructure — on simulated traffic indistinguishable from the real internet.

  • Red team arsenal — CyberFlood, Nessus Pro, Metasploit Pro, Nmap, Immunity Canvas, Acunetix, Burp Suite and Kali Linux.
  • Blue team stack — firewalls, IDS/IPS and SIEM for log collection, detection, isolation and threat analysis.
  • Offensive simulation — exploit real CVEs: DoS, DDoS, SQL injection, directory traversal and more, refreshed from a monthly-updated vulnerability database.
  • Spirent infrastructure — C1, C100 and N4U test platforms with Layer 2/3 switching and routing.

Benchmarking

Every layer, measured to standard

Layer 2 & 3 — RFC 2889 / 2544

Switches and routers tested for throughput, latency, packet loss, address learning and frame forwarding.

Layer 4–7 Application Testing

QoS/QoE for web infrastructure and Triple Play services — TCP connection rates, HTTP transfer, DoS handling and latency.

Firewall Testing

Packet-filter firewalls per RFC 3511 and next-generation firewalls per the BMWG draft — including IDS/IPS, DLP and antimalware functions.

Application Server Simulation

HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, DNS and email servers simulated with full protocol stacks and realistic user behavior.

Attack callflow visualization and analysis
Simulation Library

Traffic and attacks, indistinguishable from real

The range generates the traffic of a living internet — business, streaming, gaming, social, P2P — mixed with the attacks that hide inside it.

  • NetSecOpen traffic models — the five standard internet mixes used by Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Spirent and IXIA.
  • Attack library — DDoS floods, XSS, SQL injection, backdoor exploitation and optional protocol fuzzing for crash and leak discovery.
  • Malware & DLP validation — malware traffic blended with legitimate flows; keyword injection (emails, passwords, card numbers) to test data-leak prevention.
  • Indigenous application replay — capture, save and replay traffic from any local application to test functionality, performance and security.
  • Real IP & geolocation — IANA-allocated address space with any country selectable as traffic source or target; millions of simulated client-server users.
Beyond the Exercise

Analysis, reporting and training built in

Attack Callflow Visualization

Visual sequence of every event in an attack — locate, download, study and import attack files (MSL, PCAP) for deeper analysis.

Reporting & API

PDF, Word and HTML reports with graphs and charts, plus a RESTful API for custom integrations and automation.

Training & Support

Customized training programs covering network design, performance testing, attack theory and firewall/IPS deployment — with dedicated ongoing support.

FAQ

Cyber Range questions, answered

What is a cyber range?

A cyber range is to IT security what a firing range is to marksmanship: a safe, realistic environment where security teams practice attack and defense skills and where network devices are tested before real-world deployment. The Visionbotix Cyber Range is built on Spirent test platforms with professional red team and blue team tooling.

What can be tested on the Visionbotix Cyber Range?

Switches and routers (RFC 2544/2889), firewalls and next-generation firewalls (RFC 3511, BMWG), Layer 4–7 applications, application servers, IDS/IPS, DLP and antimalware systems — under realistic simulated internet traffic, attack libraries covering DDoS, XSS, SQL injection, backdoors and protocol fuzzing, and traffic replayed from real local applications.

Does the Cyber Range include training?

Yes. We deliver customized training programs covering network design, performance testing, attack theory and firewall/IPS deployment, plus dedicated ongoing support — schedules and plans are agreed with each customer.
