The FBI built a small town to simulate cyberattacks

美国联邦调查局（FBI）建造了一座小镇来模拟网络攻击

The Kinetic Cyber Range has a fake hotel, a gas station, and even its own data center for people to protest. There’s also a fake power company to jack up prices thanks to the fake data center. “动态网络靶场”（Kinetic Cyber Range）内设有一家虚构的酒店、一个加油站，甚至还有一个供人们抗议的专属数据中心。此外，这里还有一家虚构的电力公司，会因为那个虚构的数据中心而提高电价。

Last year, the FBI opened a Cyber Range in Huntsville, Alabama, for simulating cyberattacks. Think of it sort of like the famous Hogan’s Alley, but for modern digital crime training. It’s a massive 22,000 square-foot replica of an entire town, complete with a convenience store, gas station, hospital, and even fully furnished houses. 去年，FBI 在阿拉巴马州的亨茨维尔开设了一个网络靶场，用于模拟网络攻击。你可以把它想象成著名的“霍根巷”（Hogan’s Alley），只不过它是专门针对现代数字犯罪训练的。这是一个占地 22,000 平方英尺的巨大城镇复制品，设施齐全，包括便利店、加油站、医院，甚至还有装修完备的住宅。

It’s a training facility where the bureau can recreate real-world scenarios for training and research purposes. All of the various buildings and facilities are hooked up the way they would be in a real town. There’s even a small data center with over 200 servers that can be hacked, infected with malware, and studied. But, importantly, all of the systems in the fake town are cut off from the outside world, which means there’s no danger of any malicious code or anything from escaping containment. 这是一个训练设施，FBI 可以借此重现现实世界的场景，用于培训和研究目的。所有建筑和设施的连接方式都与真实城镇无异。这里甚至有一个拥有 200 多台服务器的小型数据中心，可以对其进行黑客攻击、植入恶意软件并进行研究。但重要的是，这个虚构城镇中的所有系统都与外部世界隔绝，这意味着任何恶意代码都不会有逃逸的风险。

Students practice performing forensic investigations on car entertainment systems, hospital computer networks, and corporate security systems. They can see how various cyberattacks might affect power grids or spread through home networks. 学员们可以在这里练习对车载娱乐系统、医院计算机网络和企业安全系统进行取证调查。他们可以观察各种网络攻击如何影响电网，或如何在家庭网络中传播。

While the facility opened last year, the FBI only shared a video this week, giving the public its first glimpse inside. 虽然该设施去年就已经开放，但 FBI 直到本周才发布了一段视频，让公众首次得以一窥其内部面貌。
