Igor Vitalievich Kotenko, Mihail Stepashkin, Alexander Ulanov · 2006
The paper analyses state of the art in modeling and simulation of attacks against computer networks and presents authors' experience in applying multi- agent technology for attack simulation. The suggested approach for attack simulation is realized via automatic imitation of distributed computer network attacks on different levels of detail. The paper describes three attack simulation tools: Agent-Based Attack Simulator, Active Vulnerability Assessment System and Agent-Based Simulator of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks.
