Osmium EVE: Open Source Network Emulation and Training Tool

An open source alternative to EVE-NG or GNS3, Osmium EVE focuses on network emulation and training, providing a graphical environment for designing and configuring virtual networks using real network operating systems.

What is Osmium EVE?

Osmium EVE is an open source network emulator and training platform, created as an alternative to commercial solutions like EVE-NG or GNS3. It allows network engineers and students to design and configure complex virtual networks for testing, troubleshooting, and training purposes.

Some of the key features of Osmium EVE include:

• Graphical drag-and-drop interface to design network topologies comprised of nodes like routers, switches, firewalls, servers etc.
• Supports importing of real router/switch firmware images like Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos etc. to simulate the actual device functionality.
• Allows live interaction via command line interface or web interface just like real network gear.
• Suite of prebuilt lab exercises focused around IT networking, security, and infrastructure.
• Desktop application available for Linux, Windows and Mac along with a web-based client.
• Backed by an open source community providing images, labs, updates, and user support through Discord and GitHub.

In summary, Osmium EVE aims to offer similar functionality for building virtual test labs as commercial counterparts, but in an affordable and flexible open source package. Its focus is providing a tool for hands-on networking education and training at an individual or organizational level.
