Project 02

5G Core Testbed

Built during my Master's thesis research, this project created a reproducible 5G Core environment for generating realistic traffic and security attack data.

Overview

To support 5G Core security research, my supervisor and I developed a testbed environment to capture data for attack detection model training. The setup used Free5GC as the core network and UERANSIM for radio access simulation, with scripts to launch and measure attack scenarios.

What I Learned

I gained hands-on experience deploying Kubernetes workloads, orchestrating distributed network components, and automating repeatable experiments. Next, I would expand observability and build a richer metrics pipeline to speed up security model iteration.
