Defensive 5G
summary
A 4.5G/5G test network runs on COTS radios (Ettus V200, B200, Lime) and commodity servers using Open5gs and srsRAN, orchestrated in Docker with Faucet and Dovesnap for SDN and container networking. The lab provisions its own SIMs, uses MongoDB-based subscriber stores, and conducts red-team/blue-team exercises. A deception experiment spins up six dummy subscriber DBs so an attacker who exploits a known MongoDB flaw alters a decoy record rather than the real one; the setup can scale to hundreds or thousands of decoys.
