Intelligent Mobile Hardware-Software Device for Automated Testing and Monitoring of Computer Networks Based on Raspberry Pi

Abstract

This paper describes an intelligent hardware-software device for testing enterprise and SOHO networks based on Raspberry Pi single-board computers. The device is designed to carry out primary or standard tests primarily by users who are not specialists in the field of computer network security audit or in the field of information security in general, as well as who do not have specific skills in working with applications having a command line interface. An algorithm has been created and implemented for intelligent processing of messages of the formal language of utilities for testing the security of computer networks (the Nmap utility was taken), which analyzes these messages according to specific (technical) and linguistic criteria and generates explanations, recommendations and instructions to ensure a timely response in case of vulnerabilities and high risks. The corresponding set of programs has been created for a specially assembled and configured hardware and software device. The user manual has been created too.
