Abstract
An aircraft includes an aircraft network having nodes and links and a sandbox network in communication with the aircraft network. The sandbox network simulates the aircraft network and includes sandbox nodes corresponding to the nodes of the aircraft network, a first set of sandbox links corresponding to the links of the aircraft network, and a second set of sandbox links providing communication between sandbox nodes not in communication via the first set of sandbox links. Computer executable instructions, when executed, perform the steps of: generating network traffic over the sandbox network such that the sandbox network models a behavior of the aircraft network; identifying a suspicious activity on the aircraft network; routing the suspicious activity from the aircraft network to the sandbox network; and analyzing the suspicious activity as the suspicious activity traverses through the sandbox network.
