Autonomous security analysis and penetration testing model based on attack graph and deep Q-learning network by Cheng FAN, Guoqing HU, Taojie DING, Zhanhua ZHANG

“…With the continuous development and widespread application of network technology, network security issues have become increasingly prominent.Penetration testing has emerged as an important method for assessing and enhancing network security.However, traditional manual penetration testing methods suffer from inefficiency,human error, and tester skills, leading to high uncertainty and poor evaluation results.To address these challenges, an autonomous security analysis and penetration testing framework called ASAPT was proposed, based on attack graphs and deep Q-learning networks (DQN).The ASAPT framework was consisted of two main components:training data construction and model training.In the training data construction phase, attack graphs were utilized to model the threats in the target network by representing vulnerabilities and possible attacker attack paths as nodes and edges.By integrating the common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) vulnerability database, a “state-action”transition matrix was constructed, which depicted the attacker’s behavior and transition probabilities in different states.This matrix comprehensively captured the attacker’s capabilities and network security status.To reduce computational complexity, a depth-first search (DFS) algorithm was innovatively applied to simplify the transition matrix, identifying and preserving all attack paths that lead to the final goal for subsequent model training.In the model training phase, a deep reinforcement learning algorithm based on DQN was employed to determine the optimal attack path during penetration testing.The algorithm interacted continuously with the environment, updating the Q-value function to progressively optimize the selection of attack paths.Simulation results demonstrate that ASAPT achieves an accuracy of 84% in identifying the optimal path and exhibits fast convergence speed.Compared to traditional Q-learning, ASAPT demonstrates superior adaptability in dealing with large-scale network environments, which could provide guidance for practical penetration testing.…”

Ecological Water Level Determination and Safeguard Measures for Rivers in Northern Jiangsu Plain by WANG Zhenqi, FANG Hongyuan, XU Guangdong, ZHU Ye, WANG Chengjie

“…Effective methods of calculating the threshold of river ecological flow (water level) need to be employed to obtain measures of controlling the ecological state of rivers in a plain river network and to build a robust long-term mechanism of ecological flow control.The Zongliutang River in the river network area of Northern Jiangsu Plain is divided into upper,middle,and lower reaches according to its objective environment and its actual operation and management situation.Then,the controlling condition of the ecological water level of each reach is analyzed respectively.Considering the hydrological characteristics,hydrodynamic characteristics,and observed hydrological data conditions of rivers in this river network area,several methods are utilized to calculate the ecological water level threshold of the middle reach of the river respectively.Those methods include the annual minimum water level method with a 90% guarantee rate,the wetted perimeter method,the minimum monthly average water level method,and the lowest survival water depth method.Through the comparative analysis of actual river operation and management schemes,the ecological water level targets of the upper,middle,and lower reaches of the river are comprehensively determined as 17.40 m,8.96 m,and 7.50 m respectively.After the control value of the ecological water level of the river is obtained by comprehensive analysis,the actual operation and management situation of the river is taken into account to propose specific safeguard measures for maintaining the ecological water level (flow) target of the river from multiple perspectives.Some of the measures are constructing a robust and feasible ecological flow control system,accelerating the construction of an information monitoring system of ecological flow and water intake and an early warning system safeguarding the ecological water level target,and strengthening the supervision and assessment of the implementation of river and lake ecological flows (water levels).…”
