Query: Automating the Generation of Cyber Range Virtual Scenarios with VSDL   A cyber range is an environment used for training security experts and
testing attack and defence tools and procedures. Usually, a cyber range
simulates one or more critical infrastructures that attacking (red) and
defending (blue) teams must compromise and protect, respectively. The
infrastructure can be physically assembled, but much more convenient is to rely
on the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) paradigm. Although some modern
technologies support the IaaS, the design and deployment of scenarios of
interest is mostly a manual operation. As a consequence, it is a common
practice to have a cyber range hosting few (sometimes only one), consolidated
scenarios. However, reusing the same scenario may significantly reduce the
effectiveness of the training and testing sessions. In this paper, we propose a
framework for automating the definition and deployment of arbitrarily complex
cyber range scenarios. The framework relies on the virtual scenario description
language (VSDL), i.e., a domain-specific language for defining high-level
features of the desired infrastructure while hiding low-level details. The
semantics of VSDL is given in terms of constraints that must be satisfied by
the virtual infrastructure. These constraints are then submitted to an SMT
solver for checking the satisfiability of the specification. If satisfiable,
the specification gives rise to a model that is automatically converted to a
set of deployment scripts to be submitted to the IaaS provider.
