Teamwork Approach for Modeling and Simulation of Ddos Attacks in Internet

The paper considers an approach to modeling and simulation of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks fulfilled by a group of malefactors. The approach is based on combination of “joint intentions” and “common plans” theories as well as state machines. The formal framework for modeling and simulation of DDoS) attacks is presented. The architecture and user interfaces of the Attack Simulator software prototype implemented and its evaluation results are depicted. The simulation-based exploration of the Attack Simulator prototype demonstrated its efficacy for accomplishing various DDoS attack scenarios. The framework and software prototype developed can be used for conducting experiments for evaluating computer network security and analyzing efficiency of security policy.
