ASTORIA

What is ASTORIA?

ASTORIA is a framework developed to allow the simulation of attacks and the evaluation of their impact on Smart Grid infrastructures, using closely-related real devices and real topologies comprising both power grid elements as well as ICT and networking equipment. ASTORIA can be used by Smart Grid operators not only to analyze the impact of malicious attacks and other security threats in different components, but also to permit the development and evaluation of anomaly detection techniques in a simulation environment.

Setup Steps

Clone source from Github

$ git clone https://github.com/ComputerNetworks-UFRGS/ASTORIA.git

Install dependencies

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install g++ python-libvirt python-dev python-pip

1. Download NS-3 simulator source code to your computer and extract the folder ns-allinone-<version>/ns-<version> (e.g version=3.27).

2. Copy scada-application folder from this repository to ns-allinone-<version>/ns-<version>/src.

3. Copy the content of include folder from this repository to ns-allinone-<version>/ns-<version>/include.

4. Copy scada-application folder from this repository to ns-allinone-<version>/ns-<version>/src.

5. Copy the content of scratch folder from this repository to ns-allinone-<version>/ns-<version>/scratch.

6. Install Mosaik 2.4.0 simulator.

7. Download Boost 1.66.0 and extract to NS3 root folder.

8. Run the following command lines within Boost folder and wait for a couple of minutes.

$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ ./b2 install

Build

1. Access ns-allinone-<version>/ns-<version>/ and run the following commands:

$ CXXFLAGS="-std=c++0x" ./waf configure --enable-examples --enable-tests
$ ./waf configure --enable-examples
$ ./waf

Run

1. Open a terminal to run NS3 simulator:

$ ./waf --run scratch mosaik-ns3-integration

2. In a new terminal access Mosaik folder you cloned from this repository and execute:

$ sudo pip install -U virtualenv
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 ~/.virtualenvs/mosaik
$ source ~/.virtualenvs/mosaik/bin/activate
$ (mosaik)$ pip install mosaik
$ (mosaik)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ (mosaik)$ python mosaik-ns3.py
