The Internet and local area networks, which connect many personal computers, are also facilitating the proliferation of malicious programs. Modern malware takes advantage of network services like e-mail and file sharing to proliferate. Existing simulation environments use biological models or their variants for explaining the patterns of proliferation of malicious programs. This paper aims to provide a framework that enables the modeling of security threats using multi agent systems. Multi Agent Systems Framework for Malware Modeling and Simulation (MASFMMS) provides a generic environment for modeling security weaknesses and their exploitation in a computer network. We present various scenarios of exploits that are prevalent in real life and show how they can be simulated in MASFMMS.
