Abstract

The major objective of this paper is to propose the automated cyber-attack scenario generation methodology based on the symbolic simulation environment. Information Assurance is to assure the reliability and availability of information by preventing from attack. Cyber-attack simulation is one of noticeable methods for analyzing vulnerabilities in the information assurance field, which requires variety of attack scenarios. To do this, we have adopted the symbolic simulation that has extended a conventional numeric simulation. This study can 1) not only generate conventional cyber-attack scenarios but 2) generate cyber-attack scenarios still unknown, and 3) be applied to establish the appropriate defense strategies by analyzing generated cyber-attack. Simulation test performed on sample network system will illustrate our techniques.
