Simulating Cyber Attacks using Petri Nets.

Presented at PhreakNIC 23 (2019), Nov. 8, 2019, 3 p.m. (60 minutes)

This talk will be about how we are building Petri net simulations, what a Petri Net is, how they can be used to model processes, various tools used, and the mathematical formalism describing them. If I talk too fast, I might also discuss how we are simulating the behaviors of Players within these nets, as well as the research that I have been doing using reinforcement learning.

Presenters:

• Phil Showers
  Phil Showers is a graduate student at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, writing his thesis on the topic of applied Reinforcement Learning in the cyber security domain. He is also a Maker from Makers Local 256.
