Simulating an attack

Use the simulation feature to simulate an attack on open ports by using protocols such as TCP.

Procedure

  1. Click the Risks tab.
  2. From the navigation menu, select Simulation > Simulations.
  3. From the Actions list, select New.
  4. Type a name for the simulation.
  5. Select a topology model that you created.
  6. From the Where do you want the simulation to begin list, select an origin for the simulation.
  7. Add the simulation attack, Attack targets one of the following open ports using protocols.
  8. For this simulation, click open ports, and then add port 22.
  9. Click protocols, and then select TCP.
    SSH uses TCP.
  10. Click Add + to add the protocol, and then OK.
  11. Click Save Simulation.
  12. From the Actions list, select Run Simulation.
    The results column contains a list that shows the run date of the simulation, and a link to view the results.
  13. Click View Results.
