Attacking Information Mismanagement in SDN-Datastores

Explore vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures using Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) design in this 24-minute conference talk. Delve into the semantic gap, fuzzing architecture, and experimental results. Examine case studies on denial of service attacks and security policy hacking, including CVEs. Learn about mitigation strategies for DoS and misconfigurations in Software Defined Networking (SDN) environments. Gain insights into the challenges of incorporating NMDA into SDN and the blurred responsibilities that arise from the semantic gap.
