A Cyber Attack Scenario Using SSFNet

Nowadays the use of the Internet has become something massive and indispensable. But, how protected are internet users from cyber attacks? It is very difficult to see the impact of worm viruses in real networks. One of the best ways is to run attacking tools for intruding real networks and to get sufficient information on phenomena occurred in the networks during the attacks. However, it is impossible and illegal to test the attacking tools or to experiment cyber terrors in real networks. Therefore, attacking simulation techniques are used. In this paper, we present the simulation scenario of a network which is under attack. The simulation framework used is built on SSF Net and SSF, which uses DML (Domain Modeling Language) to describe the network model. The simulation, models the spread of a worm virus and the infected hosts in local networks and globally on a large network.
