Malicious traffic from self-propagating worms and denial-of-service attacks constantly threatens the everyday operation of Internet systems. Defending networks from these threats demands appropriate tools to conduct comprehensive vulnerability assessments of networked systems. This paper describes MACE, a unique environment for recreating a wide range of malicious packet traffic in laboratory testbeds. MACE defines a model for flexible composition of malicious traffic that enables both known attacks (such as the Welchia worm) and new attack variants to be created. The paper implements this model in an extensible library for attack traffic specification and generation. To demonstrate the capability of MACE, the paper provides an analysis of stress tests conducted on a popular firewall and two popular network intrusion detection systems.
