This is out implementatation for the "Breaking Isolation" lab work for ELEC-E7330 - Laboratory Course in Internet Technologies course. The repository hosts a Vagrantfile that is used to set up an environment for our experiments that we have provided in our report.

The following software is required:

• Oracle VirtualBox
• VirtualBox Extension Pack
• Vagrant

You will also need to setup VirtualBox as the default provider for Vagrant, more on that: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/providers

To launch the environment, navigate in CLI interface to the location of the Vagrantfile and use the following command:

vagrant up

After command finnishes the execution, you are all set to use the VM

NOTE: Do not remove any of the files that come in this repository, as they are crucial to make the environment setup

You can open the VM by using VirtualBox GUI, where you can find by name BIG 6 , or bnavigating to the location of Vagrantfile in your CLI interface and entering the following command:

vagrant ssh

You will be logged in as user vagrant via ssh interface.

Easiest way to destroy of the environment is by using command

vagrant destroy -f

You can also shutdown and remove the BIG 6 VM and the base VM, which is going to be named in such fashion: stretch_XXXX_XXXX by using VirtualBox GUI interface.

On my machine, which is running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS based distro, I was having an issue where the environment might have issues to be relaunched if the vagrant-vbguest package was installed previously, to fix that, I used the following commands:

vagrant destroy -f
vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-vbguest
vagrant up

You can copy these commands or use the weird-restart.sh script if you are running a unix based OS.
