SUMMARY:Dynamic and Portable Vulnerability Assessment Testbed with Linux C
 ontainers to Ensure the Security of MongoDB in Singularity LXCs
DESCRIPTION:Akalanka Mailewa Dissanayaka, Susan Mengel, Lisa Gittner, and 
 Hafiz Khan (Texas Tech University)\n\nTo find the available vulnerabilitie
 s against any system, it is mandatory to conduct vulnerability assessments
  as scheduled tasks in a regular manner. Thus, an easily deployable, easil
 y maintainable, accurate vulnerability assessment testbed or a model is he
 lpful as facilitated by Linux containers. Nowadays Linux containers (LXCs)
  which have operating system level virtualization, are very popular over v
 irtual machines (VMs) which have hypervisor or kernel level virtualization
  in high performance computing (HPC) due to reasons, such as high portabil
 ity, high performance, efficiency and high security. Hence, LXCs can make 
 an efficient and scalable vulnerability assessment testbed or a model by u
 sing already developed analyzing tools such as OpenVas, Dagda, PortSpider,
  OWASP Zed Attack Proxy, and OpenSCAP, to assure the required security lev
 el of a given system very easily. To verify the overall security of any gi
 ven software system, this paper first introduces a virtual, portable and e
 asily deployable vulnerability assessment general testbed within the Linux
  container network. Next, the paper presents, how to conduct experiments u
 sing this testbed on a MongoDB database implemented in Singularity Linux c
 ontainers to find the available vulnerabilities in images accompanied by c
 ontainers, host, and network by integrating three tools; OpenVas, Dagda, a
 nd PortSpider to the container-based testbed. Finally, it discusses how to
  use generated results to improve the security level of the given system.\
