Agent-based Network Security Simulator Nessi2

Abstract

With the development of the Internet, a variety of attack behaviors are emerging, which seriously threaten the security of cyberspace. In order to effectively defend these attacks, the researchers put forward a variety of research methods. During these methods, using simulation software to model the attack behavior and run simulation is one of the effective means. In this paper, it introduces the framework of Nessi2 simulation software, and analyzes the main functions of the software from two aspects of distributed simulation and security simulation.
