Python Wrapper for OpenFlowSec.org’s SDN Security Actuator

I have been looking into the security capabilities of SDN for the past year or so but quickly realized that most open source controller’s North Bound API was either non-existent or too immature to provide the support required for powerful security applications. Luckily the good people over at OpenFlowSec have recently released their SDN Security Suite which is an extension/improvement over their FortNOX controller. This suite includes a security enhanced floodlight controller (Big Switch’s Open Source controller), an actuator which provides a security directive abstraction on top of the floodlight switch, and an openflow bothunter extension.

In case you wanted to try out the OF Actuator I have put together a small Python wrapper in which you can find here.
