Overview

The MAL Simulator is a tool designed for running simulations on systems modeled in the Modeling Attack Language (MAL).

Installation

pip install mal-simulator

To also get ML dependencies (pettingzoo, gymnasium):

pip install mal-simulator[ml]

For additional dev tools:

pip install mal-simulator[dev]

Contributing

• Use Conventional commits
• The CI pipeline runs mypy and ruff for linting and type checking, and PRs will only be merged if pipeline succeeds.

MalSimulator

A mal_simulator.MalSimulator can be created to be able to run simulations.

MalSimulatorSettings

The MalSimulator can be given a settings (mal_simulator.MalSimulatorSettings) through the parameter 'sim_settings'. Giving sim_settings is optional, otherwise default settings are used.

settings = MalSimulatorSettings(
    # Default values
    uncompromise_untraversable_steps: bool = False
    ttc_mode: TTCMode = TTCMode.DISABLED
    seed: Optional[int] = None
    attack_surface_skip_compromised: bool = True
    attack_surface_skip_unviable: bool = True
    attack_surface_skip_unnecessary: bool = True
    run_defense_step_bernoullis: bool = True
    attacker_reward_mode: RewardMode = RewardMode.CUMULATIVE
    defender_reward_mode: RewardMode = RewardMode.CUMULATIVE
)
sim = MalSimulator(attack_graph, sim_settings=settings, ...)
