DELTA – SDN security evaluation framework
What is DELTA?
DELTA is a penetration testing framework that regenerates known attack scenarios for diverse test cases. This framework also provides the capability of discovering unknown security problems in SDN by employing a fuzzing technique.
- Agent-Manager is the control tower. It takes full control over all the agents deployed to the target SDN network.
- Application-Agent is a legitimate SDN application that conducts attack procedures and is controller-dependent. The known malicious functions are implemented as application-agent functions.
- Channel-Agent is deployed between the controller and the OpenFlow-enabled switch. The agent sniffs and modifies the unencrypted control messages. It is controller-independent.
- Host-Agent behaves as if it was a legitimate host participating in the target SDN network. The agent demonstrates an attack in which a host attempts to compromise the control plane.
Prerequisites
In order to build and run DELTA, the following are required:
- An agent manager based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit
- Ant build system
- Maven v3.3.9
- LXC 2.0
- JDK 1.8
- Target Controller (for application agent)
- Floodlight: ~1.2
- ONOS: 1.1, 1.6, 1.9, 1.13.1 (being tested)
- OpenDaylight: ~Oxygen
- Ryu: 4.16
- Cbench (for channel agent)
- Mininet 2.2 (for host agent)
- (in the case of All-In-One Single Machine) Three lxc containers based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit.
- Container-1: Target controller + Application agent
- Container-2: Channel agent
- Container-3: Host agent
Installing DELTA
DELTA installation depends on maven and ant build system. The mvn command is used to install the agent-manager and the agents. DELTA can support an All-In-One Single Machine environment via containers as well as a real hardware SDN environment.
- STEP 1. Get the source code of DELTA on the agent manager machine
$ git clone https://github.com/seungsoo-lee/DELTA.git
- STEP 2. Install DELTA dependencies
$ cd <DELTA>/tools/dev/delta-setup/
$ ./delta-setup-devenv-ubuntu
- STEP 3. Install three containers using lxc
$ source ./<DELTA>/tools/dev/delta-setup/bash_profile
$ cd <DELTA>/tools/dev/lxc-setup
$ ./lxc-dev-install
$ sudo vi /etc/default/lxc-net
Uncomment "LXC_DHCP_CONFILE=/etc/lxc/dnsmasq.conf"
$ sudo service lxc-net restart
$ sudo lxc-start -n container-cp -d
$ sudo vi /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/lxc/container-base
Uncomment "mount options=(rw, make-rprivate) -> **,"
$ sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/lxc-containers
$ cd ~
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
(Press Enter)
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub $DELTA_CP
(ID: ubuntu, PW: ubuntu)
$ ssh $DELTA_CP
(DELTA_CP) $ sudo visudo
In the bottom of the file, type the follow:
ubuntu ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
(DELTA_CP) $ exit
$ cd <DELTA>/tools/dev/lxc-setup
$ ./lxc-dev-setup
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub $DELTA_CH
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub $DELTA_DP
- STEP 4. Install DELTA using maven build
$ cd <DELTA>
$ source ./tools/dev/delta-setup/bash_profile
$ mvn clean install
- The test environment is automatically setup as below:
Configuring your own experiments
- The agent-manager automatically reads a configuration file and sets up the test environment based on the file. [/tools/config/manager_default.cfg] contains the All-In-One Single Machine configuration by default.
CONTROLLER_SSH=[account-id]@[agent-controller ipAddr]

TARGET_HOST=10.0.0.2

TARGET_CONTROLLER=Floodlight
TARGET_VERSION=0.91

Floodlight 1.2
$ cd <DELTA>/tools/dev/app-agent-setup
$ ./floodlight-1.2-scp
ONOS 1.1 (depreciated)
$ cd <DELTA>/tools/dev/app-agent-setup/onos
$ ./onos-1.1.0-scp
(on the controller machine) $ ./onos-1.1.0-setup
ONOS 1.6, 1.9 or 1.13.1
$ cd <DELTA>/tools/dev/app-agent-setup/onos
$ ./delta-setup-onos <onos-version>
$ ./delta-scp-onos <onos-version>
* Supported ONOS version in the script: 1.6, 1.9, 1.13.1
OpenDaylight Oxygen
$ cd <DELTA>/tools/dev/app-agent-setup
$ ./odl-oxygen-scp
Ryu 4.16
$ cd <DELTA>/tools/dev/app-agent-setup/ryu
$ ./delta-setup-ryu
- The app-agent (on the controller container) needs ‘agent.cfg’ file to connect to the agent-manager.

Running DELTA
- STEP 1. Distribute the executable files to Containers
$ cd <DELTA>
$ source ./tools/dev/delta-setup/bash_profile
$ ./tools/dev/delta-setup/delta-agents-scp
- STEP 2. Execute Agent-Manager first
$ cd <DELTA>
$ bin/run-delta <configuration file>
(e.g., bin/run-delta config/manager_vm.cfg)
