Abstract

A method includes selecting an attack signature from an attack signature database; generating a fingerprint that includes parameters indicative of the attack signature; generating configuration data for one or more test devices based on the fingerprint, wherein the configuration data is capable of configuring the one or more test devices to provide a security response to the attack signature; providing the configuration data to the one or more test devices; transmitting the attack signature to the one or more test devices; examining a security response to the attack signature from the one or more test devices; and outputting a result of the examining.
