In order to simulate cyber attacks and predict network behavior by attacks, we should represent attributes of network components in the simulation model, and should express characteristics of systems that carry out various cyber attacks and defend from these attacks. To simulate how network load may change under the cyber attacks, we extended SSF[9, 10] that is process-based event-oriented simulation system. We added a firewall class and a packet manipulator into the SSFNet that is a component of SSF. The firewall class, which is related to the security, is to simulate cyber attacks, and the packet manipulator is a set of functions to write attack programs for the simulation. The extended SSFNet enables to simulate a network with the security systems and provides advantages that make easy to port already exsiting attack programs and apply them to the simulation evironment. We made a vitual network model to verify operations of the added classes, and simulated a smurf attack that is a representative denial of sevive attack, and observed the network behavior under the smurf attack. The results showed that the firewall class and packet manipulator developed in this paper worked normaly.

Simulation Based Acquisition(SBA) which pursues to use M&S in manner of integrated collaboration is being applied in defense acquisition. To accomplish SBA efficiently, reusability, reconfiguration and scalability of M&S components are important factors. To avoid constraints caused by coupling of components, PBA is designed to add and configure components easily by enabling independent interface and interaction among the components and provides common development infrastructure also. And PBA framework is implemented to support the development of a simulator which uses the PBA. It is expected that deployment of PBA framework as common development infrastructure can raise efficiency of M&S works.
