NetSecBed: A Container-Native Testbed for Reproducible Cybersecurity Experimentation

arXiv:2604.04121v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cybersecurity research increasingly depends on reproducible evidence, such as traffic traces, logs, and labeled datasets, yet most public datasets remain static and offer limited support for controlled re-execution and traceability, especially in heterogeneous multi-protocol environments. This paper presents NetSecBed, a container-native, scenario-oriented testbed for reproducible generation of network traffic evidence and execution artifacts und
