Thermal Management of Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuits (DEAL 532)

This lot is generally related to a dynamic simulation system to determine security threats by simulating an actual attacker behavior of attacks based on received results and their logical next follow-up, representing different stages of the potential cyber threat life cycle to test security infrastructure readiness using techniques that determine vulnerabilities of one or more targets by receiving multiple attack templates that define attacks to be executed against targets. The attack template has data representing attack execution steps associated with attacks defined in the template and compiles a decision tree using various attack templates and creates a logical tree having its branches representing different execution paths through which attacks may be executed. An initial decision tree can have a depth of three levels, and attacks are derived from the execution paths in the decision tree. Further disclosed are techniques to collect the targets that are attracted by the attack traffic to determine vulnerabilities for the target. The technology may be implemented in network security systems, network threat detection systems, cyber-attack simulation systems, cyber threat determination systems, etc.
