An Automated Mechanism of Security Test on Network Protocols

Abstract

Aiming at automated security test on communication protocols, this paper proposes an automated manipulation mechanism of testing procedure based on FSM (Finite State Machine), and designs an automated packet generation mechanism based on a protocol template library. The practical experiments and applications show that the automated security testing platform of communication protocols based on this mechanism can implement the correct evaluations, be convenient to construct the testing procedure, generate automatically test packet sequence and have smaller packet control granularity. It can be used for the systematic and efficient infiltrative security test.
