The objective of the project work was to estimate the effects of BGP prefix hijacking events using a heuristic algorithm we developed. For this purpose, a routing graph was created on a high-performance cluster based on BGP archives, and costs were subsequently assigned to the edges to approximate a routing partitioning.

The toolchain helps reduce the effort involved in testing Big Data applications. It simulates all components of the production environment using Docker containers. This allows for local testing of, for example, Spark jobs. To start the environment, only a Bash script needs to be executed.
