P-I2Prange: An Automatic Construction Architecture for Scenarios in I2P Ranges

Anonymous networks play a crucial role in preserving information privacy, yet simultaneously spark technical conflicts and gamesmanship between their maintainers and regulatory authorities. To solve the above conflicts and economic losses in real networks, it is imminent to realize adversarial exercises in anonymous networks and validate new technologies and scenarios in the cyber range. It is well known that the two dominant types of anonymity networks are Tor and Invisible Internet Project (I2P). This paper establishes a cyber range based on I2P to realize a task-driven automated scenario construction technique. The proposed task-driven automated scenario construction technique can solve the problem of decoupling between business scenarios and I2P cyber range network infrastructure. Specifically, our approach allows users to upload models/executable code to extend flexibly and fine-grained control I2P nodes, protocols, and traffic behavior characteristics. Then it empowers users to define application scenarios as needed, enabling them to handle intricate business scenarios programmatically. Therefore, it further supports diverse adversarial exercises and the validation of new technologies and scenarios within the dark web.
