Abstract
Cyber Range has become an import infrastructure in current cyber security development which is used to systematically improve related abilities such as talent cultivation, cyberwarfare drilling and advanced technology testing. In cyber range, communications and controls between host and guest system is a very important function to monitor and manage the procedures of a task, such as traffic analyzing, guest forensics, configuration transfer and data transfer. QGA is a daemon program running inside the guest system which is designed to support this requirement through a virtual serial device. As the limitations of serial devices, the performance is poor, especially in large file transferring. To overcome this limitation, a new mechanism named HSFT is proposed. It uses virtual NIC which bonded on Linux bridge and provides network connections to communicate with guest system. The experiments results show that HSFT is much faster than QGA in both file reading and writing processes.
