MALWARE ATTACK MODELING AND SIMULATION TOOL

Abstract

Malware threats have become a pervasive and
continuously evolving challenge in the realm of cyber
security. To effectively defend against these threats, it is
imperative to develop and employ advanced tools and
strategies that can simulate and analyze malware attacks.
This paper introduces a comprehensive Malware Attack
Modeling and Simulation Tool (MAMST) designed to
address this need. MAMST is built on a foundation of
Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS), enabling
highly accurate and scalable simulations of diverse
malware attack scenarios. The primary objective of
MAMST is to provide cyber security professionals,
researchers, and organizations with a versatile platform for
assessing and enhancing their cyber security measures. The
tool allows users to create, customize, and execute malware
attack simulations within a controlled and safe
environment. By modeling various malware types,
propagation techniques, and attack vectors, MAMST
empowers users to assess the resilience of their network
infrastructure, security protocols, and incident response
strategies
