What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides isolated, disposable QEMU virtual machines for protocol testing, fuzzing, and network experiments. These VMs allow testing of network protocols without risking the host system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated environments: Alpine and Debian VMs for protocol testing and network experiments.
  • Reproducible images: Pre-configured images with common toolsets.
  • Quick Start & Access: Simple commands to boot VMs and connect via SSH for experiments.

Quick Start

  • Navigate to the VM images directory: /home/matt/Git/VoE/qemu-vms
  • Start Alpine VM (example): qemu-system-x86_64 -name test-alpine -m 512 -hda alpine-base.qcow2 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -device e1000,netdev=net0 -nographic
  • Start Debian VM (example): qemu-system-x86_64 -name test-debian -m 1024 -hda debian-12-generic-amd64.qcow2 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::2224-:22 -device e1000,netdev=net0 -enable-kvm -cpu host -nographic
  • To run both server and client with shared network, use the provided script: ./start-vms.sh
