Abstract: An automated sandbox generator for a cyber-attack exercise on a mimic network in a cloud environment can include various components. The cloud deployment component deploys the mimic network in a sandbox environment in the cloud environment. The mimic network can be a clone of components from a network that exists in an organization's environment and/or, predefined example components. The attack engine deploys a cyber threat to use an exploit for the wargaming cyber-attack exercise in the mimic network. The user interface displays, in real time, results of the wargaming cyber-attack exercise being conducted in the sandbox environment, to create a behavioral profile of how the cyber threat using the exploit would actually perform in that particular organization's environment as well as have human users interact with the cyber threat deployed by the attack engine during the cyber-attack on the mimic network, as it happens in real time, during the wargaming cyber-attack exercise.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a shotgun choke with integral wad-stopping feature for use with an existing shotgun. The choke generally comprises a hollow cylinder having (an) a coupling for securing it to the muzzle end such as an external series of screw threads proximate one end for screw-insertion to the muzzle end of an existing shotgun, and an internal channel defined by an overall taper running from the inserted end to the output end to constrict shotgun pellets passing there through. The wad-stopping feature is accomplished with a series of raised internal projections or steps (raised from the internal walls of the channel), the projections being spaced throughout the tapered channel to retard and separate a traveling wad from the shot when passing there through.
