Authentication Failure Alert

uc6.run_uc6()

Run UC6: Authentication Failure Alert scenario.

Simulates an authentication failure event in a 5G network by repeatedly starting a misconfigured UE (User Equipment) that fails to register due to incorrect credentials or malformed configuration. This scenario is useful for testing network response to repeated failed attempts and monitoring for anomaly detection mechanisms.

Scenario Summary

• Launches a specially prepared UE (ID=100) which is expected to fail authentication.

• Repeats the process a random number of times (3 to 6 retries).

• Between each attempt, the UE is stopped and a random interval (5–30 seconds) is observed.

• Total scenario duration is also bounded by a global timeout (120–300 seconds).

• All events are logged to the console and scenario type is saved to data/current_uc.txt.
