Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods of an automatic attack testing framework for the security testing of an operational service are disclosed. In an example, such systems, devices, and methods may include operations that: deploy command instructions and a payload for a bot process to a computing device located within a target infrastructure, with the command instructions being selected based on criteria to test a security feature in the target infrastructure with an automated attack action in the bot process, and with the bot process being executed on the computing device and being started with use of the command instructions and the payload; communicate with the computing device to control the automated attack action within the target infrastructure, such that the automated attack action is performed within the bot process; and obtain results of the automated attack action performed within the bot process from the computing device.
