Cyber-attack simulation for power systems
NetSim Cyber is a software testbed for protocol-aware cyberattack simulation on Cyber Physical Power Systems (CPPS). Model SCADA, PMU, and PDC traffic, inject attacks, and measure the impact on substation operation without rewiring physical hardware.
- Protocols: IEEE C37.118, IEC 61850 (GOOSE, MMS, SV), DNP3, Modbus
- Attacks: MITM, replay, false data injection, DoS on SCADA links
- Co-simulation with grid solvers for end-to-end CPPS studies
- Reproducible scenarios for critical-infrastructure research
