Discrete-Event Simulation of Botnet Protection Mechanisms

چکیده
The common use of computers, connected to the Internet, as well as insufficient level of security, allow malefactors to execute large-scale infrastructure attacks, engaging in criminal activity a huge number of computing nodes. Attacks of such type have been traditionally performing by botnets. There are examples of successful large-scale attacks fulfilled by armies of bots. For example, attacks such as distributed denial of service (DDoS), aimed at government websites of Estonia in 2007 and Georgia in 2008 had led to the practical inaccessibility of these sites for several days. In 2009 and 2010 spying botnets “GhostNet” and “Shadow Network” have been occurred in many countries around the world.

Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of Botnets and Botnet Defense
Nowadays we are witnesses of the rapid spread of botnets across the Internet and using them for different cyber attacks against our systems. Botnets join a huge number of compromised computers in the Internet and allow using these computers for performing vulnerability scans, distributing denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and sending enormous amounts of spam emails. It is a very complex task to ...
متن کاملConcurrent control on resource planning and revenue/expenditure estimation in large-scale shell material embankment projects management using discrete-event simulation
Resource planning in large-scale construction projects has been a complicated management issue requiring mechanisms to facilitate decision making for managers. In the present study, a computer-aided simulation model is developed based on concurrent control of resources and revenue/expenditure. The proposed method responds to the demand of resource management and scheduling in shell material emb...
متن کاملExperiments With Simulation Of Botnets And Defense Agent Teams
Botnets allow malefactors manage millions of infected computers simultaneously and provide large-scale successful attacks. The paper suggests an approach for multi-agent simulation of botnets and botnet protection mechanisms. The main contribution of the paper is an improved simulation environment for agent based simulation of botnets and experimentation with this environment for analysis of di...
متن کاملDetermination of optimum of production rate of network failure prone manufacturing systems with perishable items using discrete event simulation and Taguchi design of experiment
This paper, considers Network Failure Manufacturing System (NFPMS) and production control policy of unreliable multi-machines, multi-products with perishable items. The production control policy is based on the Hedging Point Policy (HPP). The important point in the simulation of this system is assumed that the customers who receive perishable item are placed in priority queue of the customers w...
