Damn Vulnerable Network Infrastructure (DVNI) is a project based on Containernet that creates vulnerable Software Defined Networks (SDN) to allow users to practice Ethical Hacking techniques against Layer 2/3 network services.

Vagrant - The project uses a virtual machine (VM) which is downloaded and configured using vagrant.

VirtualBox - used to run the VM.

FTP Client - Task & answer sheets are provided over FTP.

VNC Viewer OR a Web Browser - Most tasks supply a Kali machine that is connected to through either VNC or NoVNC in a web browser.

Once you have installed the required utilitiles simply start the project with Vagrant (First time setup may take some time):

vagrant up

After this has completed you are free to try out the scenarios!

You can connect to the project either using VirtualBox to view the VM or through SSH.

Connect to the device through SSH with the credentials student:student or teacher:teacher and follow the guidance from there:

ssh student@10.10.0.1

To access the VM without being connected directly to the project, connect with Vagrant:

vagrant ssh

To run DVNI as a developer run start.py from the project root.

python /vagrant/start.py

You can also run scenarios and containers directly, although these options are available through start.py:

python /vagrant/scenarios/HostScanning.py python /vagrant/containers/

Documentation is available online provided by GitHub.io.

The documentation is created with Sphinx and ReadTheDocs. To generate the documentation run the makefile in the docs folder:

make html
