MI-LXC : Mini-Internet using LXC

MI-LXC uses LXC to simulate a small-scale internet-like environment. I use this environment for (infosec) practical work (intrusion, firewall, IDS, etc.). The small memory footprint of LXC combined with differential images allows to run it on modest hardware.

It is based on the infrastructure-as-code principle: these scripts programmatically generate the target environment.

Example practical work using this environment (in french) :

Intrusion scenario
Firewall
IDS

Provacative title, but I am unconvinced. The 5W example seems completely valid as it stands and author's attempt only leads to (to my mind ) another valid version of 5W. Even if the article had won me over, I would change the title to 'Root Cause can sometimes provide insufficient results'

That said, I do agree with the author on one thing: gif with a soft 'g'.
