O-RAN E2AP E2 Node Test Suite is a Defensics test suite designed to test the robustness and security of termination of the E2 interface on E2 Node. The test suite has been designed to act as a malicious Near-RT RIC that sends invalid, incorrect and malformed messages as defined in the E2AP specification. The test suite is intended strictly for automated black-box negative testing in an isolated lab environment.
