It’s not polite to hack your neighbor but how else can a nation-state train and assess cyber warriors? Simulations and games are an effective approach. However, there are many cyber security games, competitions and training platforms. They vary widely in effectiveness, assessment capabilities and flexibility. In addition, most are closed and proprietary in nature. What is needed is a publicly adopted cyber operations simulation standard to support training, assessment and tool & technique development across platforms. I will share an innovative way to describe Cyber Operations Simulation elements by abstracting the primitives and describing their interaction via a Scenarios Definition Language. I will describe the methodology & approach, fundamental object types and teach attendees how to run their own simulations the Packetwars way!
- Offensive computing training & assessment with simulations
- Defensive computing training & assessment with simulations
- Practical aplication of cyber operations simulations
