Micro-Id-Gym |
Identity Management Workouts with Container-Based Microservices |

Micro-Id-Gym is a framework where users can develop hands-on experiences on how IdM solutions work and increase their awareness related to the underlying security issues. It is open-source, released under Apache-2.0 license and and you can contribute by visiting the project’s repository.

The Micro-Id-Gym Backend is used to recreate locally a sandbox as an instance of an IdP and a C and it can be done by uploading the own proprietary sandbox or by composing a new sandbox choosing the instances of IdPs and Cs provided by the IdP and C repositories.
The Micro-Id-Gym Frontend consists of tools to support user pentesting activities on the System Under Test (SUT), namely a Proxy, a MIG Tool (MIG-T), and two tools called MSC Drawer and MSC STIX Visualizer. The SUT can be a sandbox or any IdM protocol available on Internet.
It is used to choose the IdM protocols as an IdP instance and one or more C instance(s) to deploy in the SUT, among the ones available. It is also used to configure some components of the Micro-Id-Gym Frontend.
The goal of the Micro-Id-Gym Backend is by construction to provide a test environment generator tailored to IdM protocols and deploy the environment in the SUT. Given a set of available IdM protocol implementations collected while using the tool for third parties, the SUT automatically sets-up a working environment in a local network. It contains:
- Client Repository It contains the instances of Client.
- Identity Provider Repository It contains the instances of Identity Provider.
- STIX vulnerability repository It contains Cyber Threat Intelligence information useful for assessing vulnerabilities following the Structured Threat Information Expression STIX format proposed by OASIS CTI TC.
The Micro-Id-Gym Frontend contains tools used to support user pentesting activities in a sandbox (generated by the Micro-Id-Gym Backend) or any IdM protocol available on Internet. It is composed by:
- Proxy It is a web proxy tool that intercepts the HTTP traffic between a browser and the servers of the SUT.
- MSC Drawer It provides a message sequence chart of the authentication flow and it allows easier inspection of the exchanged messages.
- MIG-T It supports a user to perform pentesting of an IdM protocol deployment, by providing instruments to automatically detect security issues. The tools perform both passive and active tests.
- STIX Visualizer It provides a graph of CTI information taken from the STIX vulnerability repository related to the intercepted authentication flow, currently only for SAML.
