Cyberspace Test

Abstract

The CTT project continued development of technologies to detect, monitor, and analyze malware behavior during cyber-attacks in a virtualized T&E environment. This technology development works to enable analysis and threat assessments to understand impacts to systems under test. The CTT project continued development of a capability to systemically verify (attest) that all persistent storage in an aircraft’s avionics subsystems have not been altered. This technology development works to ensure that a weapon system has not been modified by malicious action or legitimate cyber T&E activities. The CTT project is developing a next generation Traffic Generation and Content System that uses modern Artificial Intelligence techniques and detailed network, human social, and work flow models to generate traffic. This technology development works to ensure host and network traffic that is easily distinguished from human generated traffic. The CTT project is developing the novel capability to fuzz target’s virtual machine state. This technology enables exploring an entirely new class of attacks compared to existing fuzzers which fuzz only the program inputs. The CTT project is developing a framework to provide the red team and other DoD test organizations an automated attack capability. This technology development enables red team personnel to focus on more challenging problems and other test organizations to conduct automated testing.
