Abstract: “One of the problems related to the simulation of attacks against computer networks is the lack of adequate tools for the simulation of malicious software (malware). Malware attacks are the most frequent in the Internet and they pose a serious threat against networked infrastructures. To address this issue we developed a Malware Simulation Tool using JADE. The framework uses the technology of mobile agents and it aims at simulation of various types of malicious software. Moreover it can be flexibly deployed over a real computer network system.”
